allow waiting user experience while file upload with rails and jquery
- by poseid
I am trying to display a waiting spinnger, while uploading a file. I am able to show the spinner, and to do the upload, when doing it individually. My problem is how to combine these two.
The Jquery Javascript looks like:
<% javascript_tag do %>
function showLoading() {
$("#loading").show();
}
function hideLoading() {
$("#loading").hide();
}
function submitCallback() {
showLoading();
$.post("create");
}
<% end %
My form looks like:
<% semantic_form_for @face, :html => {:multipart => true} do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
<%= render 'fields', :f => f %>
<p>
<%= button_to_function 'create', "submitCallback()" %>
</p>
<% end %>
