How to show jQuery is working/waiting/loading ?
- by Kim
How do I show a loading picture and/or message to the user ?
If possible, would I like to know how to make it full screen with grey-dimmed background. Kinda like when viewing the large picture from some galleries (sorry, no example link).
Currently do I add a CSS class which has the image and other formating, but its not working for some reason.
Results from the search do get inserted into the div.
HTML
<div id="searchresults"></div>
CSS
div.loading {
background-image: url('../img/loading.gif');
background-position: center;
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
}
JS
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#searchform').submit(function(){
$('#searchresults').addClass('loading');
$.post('search.php', $('#'+this.id).serialize(),function(result){
$('#searchresults').html(result);
});
$('#searchresults').removeClass('loading');
return false;
});
});
