    "loading ... please wait"



    Hi folks --

    I've just been asked to create a module that will display a "loading ...
    please wait" message for slow Miva pages (it's a jewelry site, and they
    have some large, hi-res image files). It's easy enough to do with a
    pop-up, but trickier to get it to appear in the same window. Can anyone
    save me some trial-and-error, and either give me the gist of it (document
    layers or whatever), or point me to a free JavaScript or other resource?

    Thanks --

    Would the lowsrc attribute on the img element not work? I don't know if it's
    still usable in all browsers but that would probably be the easiest
    solution.

      Try a low res soultion...
      Don't recal the html off hand, but it built in to load one low res image then replace it with a hi
      res...

      Kinda cool if you use a black and white then replace with clor - it slowly overides the gray....

        Hi Kent,

        Not sure how to tell you to integrate it into a module, but this one works
        well for several of our sites that need to sort or filter heavy criteria.
        When the page loads fast, the "loading" screen is not evident.

        I especially like it because you can crate a "now loading" screen that uses
        your site's layout, then replace it with the loaded page when the process is
        complete.
