Showing a loading spinner only if the data has not been cached.
- by Aaron Mc Adam
Hi guys,
Currently, my code shows a loading spinner gif, returns the data and caches it. However, once the data has been cached, there is a flicker of the loading gif for a split second before the data gets loaded in. It's distracting and I'd like to get rid of it. I think I'm using the wrong method in the beforeSend function here:
$.ajax({
type : "GET",
cache : false,
url : "book_data.php",
data : { keywords : keywords, page : page },
beforeSend : function() {
$('.jPag-pages li:not(.cached)').each(function (i) {
$('#searchResults').html('<p id="loader">Loading...<img src="../assets/images/ajax-loader.gif" alt="Loading..." /></p>');
});
},
success : function(data) {
$('.jPag-current').parent().addClass('cached');
$('#searchResults').replaceWith($(data).find('#searchResults')).find('table.sortable tbody tr:odd').addClass('odd');
detailPage();
selectForm();
}
});
