Ajax Preloader Graphic

big thanks for helping :"¦

[nhatkhoa]

I am running some AJAX scripting that sometimes will take a bit to get a response....

I have an animated gif file that I want to appear on the screen (either in a table cell or appearing right in the middle of the screen is fine) as the response is loading, and then have it disappear once it is loaded....

Could anyone help me with this? I have done searches, but only come up with "image preloaders" which I don't think are what I am looking for. Any help is appreciated!

What I would probably do is have two divs. Make one contain the "loading" graphic, and the other be the placeholder for content. When the page initially loads, the first div is just normal, the other has

display: none

set. Then, as part of filling the content div with content, also toggle the display property for both; setting the former to

none

and the latter to

block

.
