Page loading hack
Posted on Friday, October 27, 2006 11:51 AM by K. Latham
Right under the <BODY... I added this ASP script:
<%
Response.Write "<DIV ID=loader STYLE=""text-align:center;padding:50;color:#ffffff;""><IMG SRC=""/Img/ajax-loader.gif"" ALIGN=absmiddle border=0 /><BR />the pages are loading<br />please stand by</DIV>"
Response.Write "<DIV ID=wholepage STYLE=""display:none;"">"
%>
Right above the </BODY> I added this ASP script:
</DIV>
<%
Response.Write "<SCRIPT LAUNGUAGE=Javascript>"
Response.Write "loader.style.display = ""none"";"
Response.Write "wholepage.style.display = ""block"";"
Response.Write "</SCRIPT>"
%>
I'll probably remove this later, but it sure beats looking at a blank loading screen. Of course this tells me I need to rethink my page design a bit. Well that's another tale for another time.
Oh I got the loading graphic from here: ajaxload.info
