I am using AJAX to call a servlet from my webpage. So far so good, I have added some code to show a loading screen while the servlet is working but that works only the first time, after that, the servlet is called and I can change the cursor but the waiting screen is not working
CSS
#loading {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
opacity: 0.75;
background-color: #ffffff;
-webkit-transition: all .5s ease;
z-index: 3000;
display:none;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
}
#loading-img {
border: 16px solid #f3f3f3;
border-radius: 50%;
border-top: 16px solid #297bda;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: auto;
-webkit-animation: spin 2s linear infinite; /* Safari */
animation: spin 2s linear infinite;
position: absolute;
top: 50%; left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
padding: 2rem;
}
HTML
<div id="loading">
<div id="loading-img"></div>
</div>
Javascript
$('#compare').click(function() {
//just the relevant part
$('#loading').show();
....
});
I am calling to
$('#loading').hide();
in the .done(function (data).
As I said, the code is executed but the loading screen only loads the first time. In fact, the second time and further I am receiving null when trying to resolve the loading div.
I have also tried with
document.getElementById("loading").style.visibility = "hidden";
document.getElementById("loading").style.display = "none";
Instead of using the hide() but the same result.
Any idea?
Found it! after hours, it was my stupid mistake.
I got this
<div id="finalresults">
<div>
<div id="loading">
<div id="loading-img"></div>
</div>
and was doing
document.getElementById("finalresults").innerHTML = "";
During the ajax call, so I was deleting the loading div bercause I forgot the / in the previous div
Thanks everyone and really sorry for the mistake
I'm relatively good at Rails 4, but not very apt at Javascript (something I'm trying to work hard at presently). One of my biggest frustrations is not being able to implement an ajax spinner (or any ajax functionality for that matter) into my application.
Here's my code
show.html.erb
<% if #category.name == "motivation" %>
<div class="spinner"></div>
<div class="category-jumbo-1" style="height: 400px; margin-top: -20px" onload = loadDoc()>
</div>
<% end %>
Here's my css
//css for spinner
.spinner {
border: 16px solid #f3f3f3; /* Light grey */
border-top: 16px solid #3498db; /* Blue */
border-radius: 50%;
width: 120px;
height: 120px;
animation: spin 2s linear infinite;
}
#keyframes spin {
0% { transform: rotate(0deg); }
100% { transform: rotate(360deg); }
}
//css for background image
.category-jumbo-1 {
background: url("motivation.jpg");
width: 100%;
background-size: cover;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
Here's my images.js file
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".spinner").hide();
function loadDoc() {
$(document).ajaxStart(function() {
$(".spinner").show();
}).ajaxComplete(function() {
var $loading = $(".spinner");
setTimeout(function(){
$loading.hide();
},1000);
});
}
});
The spinner appears above the image but does not disappear. It becomes part of the layout. I know this is a rudimentary issue for Rails developers, but ajax has been a thorn in my life since I started working on Rails.
I would like to slide a video in from the left on click of a button and auto play at the same time. In my jsfiddle I've used a youtube video but in my site I will be using HTML5 video.
I've tried using the following code but the video comes up with an error when it should be auto playing. I want the video to then pause when it slides back out on click.
So slide in from left- play, slide out to left - pause.
HTML
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="content-wrapper"
Play Video
</div>
<div class="full-video">
<iframe id="video" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vIu85WQTPRc" frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
height: 400px;
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
padding:0;
z-index: 1;
}
.content-wrapper {
position: absolute;
z-index: 999;
background: red;
bottom: -90px;
width: 100%;
-webkit-transition: bottom 1s;
-moz-transition: bottom 1s;
transition: bottom 1s;
}
#play-video {
position: absolute;
background-color: blue;
z-index: 999;
cursor: pointer;
}
.full-video {
position: absolute;
left: -600px;
z-index: 1;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
-webkit-transition: left 1s;
-moz-transition: left 1s;
transition: left 1s;
}
.full-video iframe {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
JS
var clicked=false;
$("#play-video").on('click', function(){
if(clicked)
{
clicked=false;
$(".full-video").css({"left": "-600px"});
$("#video")[0].src += "&autoplay=1";
ev.preventDefault();
}
else
{
clicked=true;
$(".full-video").css({"left": "0"});
$("#video")[0].src += "&autoplay=0";
ev.preventDefault();
}
});
Here are some jsfiddle's

Any help would be appreciated.
Demo Fiddle
You werent using a correctly formed querystring, you were starting it with an ampersand (&) not a ?, in addition, you were setting autoplay=0/1 the wrong way around.
Updated jQuery:
var clicked=false;
var src=$("#video")[0].src;
$("#play-video").on('click', function(){
if(clicked)
{
clicked=false;
$(".full-video").css({"left": "-600px"});
$("#video")[0].src = src;
ev.preventDefault();
}
else
{
clicked=true;
$(".full-video").css({"left": "0"});
$("#video")[0].src = src+"?autoplay=1";
ev.preventDefault();
}
});
I am looking to get a nice smooth rollover image to fadeIn over the parent image for a set of buttons.
I have my overlay image stacked ontop of my main image, and it's set to "display: none;".
I have the following jQuery, and it works to FadeIn the overlay image, but it fades it in and out repeatedly when the mouse is over the image. Do I have something wrong in the syntax for my jQuery? Thanks in advance.
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(".main").mouseenter(function() {
jQuery(".overlay").fadeIn();
});
jQuery(".main").mouseleave(function() {
jQuery(".overlay").fadeOut();
});
});
</script>
and my HTML code:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.hoverbox { position: relative; }
.main { width: 243px; height: 117px; }
.overlay { position: absolute; width: 243px; height: 117px; top: 0; left: 0; display: none; }
-->
</style>
<!-- button 1 -->
<div class="hoverbox" style="float: left; width: 243px; height: 117px;">
<a href="/locations/sacramento-international-airport/">
<img class="main" src="/images/home-button-smf_orig.jpg" />
<img class="overlay" src="/images/home-button-smf_rollover.jpg" />
</a>
</div>
<!-- end button 1 -->
Try this instead:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".hoverbox").on("mouseenter", function(){
$(".overlay").stop(true, true).fadeIn();
});
$(".hoverbox").on("mouseleave", function(){
$(".overlay").stop(true, true).fadeOut();
});
});
</script>
I think hovering over the image itself was a bad idea, here I use the parent container. Also, using the on() method is now the preferred way to trigger mouse enter and leave events.
Good luck!
Michael's answer is a good one and will work, but it may be preferable to use CSS transitions for the animation and reserve jQuery for the behavior.
Here's a demo.
JavaScript
$(".hoverbox")
.mouseenter(function () {
$(this).addClass("on");
})
.mouseleave(function () {
$(this).removeClass("on");
});
CSS
.overlay {
opacity: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
-webkit-transition: .4s;
-moz-transition: .4s;
-o-transition: .4s;
-transition: .4s;
}
.hoverbox.on .overlay {
opacity: 1;
}
Here's a demo of the former approach (similar to Michael's answer). Also, your CSS has been cleaned up for both examples.
css is enough in this case, try the below code
.main:hover + .overlay{ display:block; }
and make sure overlay has a higher z-index
.overlay {
position: absolute; width: 243px; height: 117px;
top: 0; left: 0; display: none; z-index: 2;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Grhqn/1/
for graceful fading
.overlay {
position: absolute; width: 243px; height: 117px; top: 0;
left: 0; z-index: 2; transition: opacity 1.5s ease; opacity:0;
}
.overlay:hover { opacity:1; }

I have a section on our website that loads quite slowly as it's doing some intensive calls.
Any idea how I can get a div to say something similar to "loading" to show while the page prepares itself and then vanish when everything is ready?
Original Answer
I've needed this and after some research I came up with this (jQuery needed):
First, right after the <body> tag add this:
<div id="loading">
<img id="loading-image" src="path/to/ajax-loader.gif" alt="Loading..." />
</div>
Then add the style class for the div and image to your CSS:
#loading {
position: fixed;
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
text-align: center;
opacity: 0.7;
background-color: #fff;
z-index: 99;
}
#loading-image {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 240px;
z-index: 100;
}
Then, add this javascript to your page (preferably at the end of your page, before your closing </body> tag, of course):
<script>
$(window).load(function() {
$('#loading').hide();
});
</script>
Finally, adjust the position of the loading image and the background-color of the loading div with the style class.
This is it, should work just fine. But of course you should have an ajax-loader.gif somewhere or use base64 url for image's src value. Freebies here. (Right-click > Save Image As...)
Update
For jQuery 3.0 and above you can use:
<script>
$(window).on('load', function () {
$('#loading').hide();
})
</script>
Update
The original answer is from jQuery and before flexbox era. You can use many view management libraries / frameworks now like Angular, React and Vue.js. And for CSS you have flexbox option. Below is CSS alternative:
#loading {
position: fixed;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
opacity: 0.7;
background-color: #fff;
z-index: 99;
}
#loading-image {
z-index: 100;
}
This script will add a div that covers the entire window as the page loads. It will show a CSS-only loading spinner automatically. It will wait until the window (not the document) finishes loading, then it will wait an optional extra few seconds.
Works with jQuery 3 (it has a new window load event)
No image needed but it's easy to add one
Change the delay for more branding or instructions
Only dependency is jQuery.
CSS loader code from https://projects.lukehaas.me/css-loaders
$('body').append('<div style="" id="loadingDiv"><div class="loader">Loading...</div></div>');
$(window).on('load', function(){
setTimeout(removeLoader, 2000); //wait for page load PLUS two seconds.
});
function removeLoader(){
$( "#loadingDiv" ).fadeOut(500, function() {
// fadeOut complete. Remove the loading div
$( "#loadingDiv" ).remove(); //makes page more lightweight
});
}

Place the script below at the bottom of the body.
CSS loader code from https://projects.lukehaas.me/css-loaders
<!-- Place the script below at the bottom of the body -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
window.onload = function(){ document.getElementById("loading").style.display = "none" }
#loading {width: 100%;height: 100%;top: 0px;left: 0px;position: fixed;display: block; z-index: 99}
#loading-image {position: absolute;top: 40%;left: 45%;z-index: 100}
<div id="loading">
<img id="loading-image" src="img/loading.gif" alt="Loading..." />
</div>
Page loading image with simplest fadeout effect created in JS:
I have another below simple solution for this which perfectly worked for me.
First of all, create a CSS with name Lockon class which is transparent overlay along with loading GIF as shown below
.LockOn {
display: block;
visibility: visible;
position: absolute;
z-index: 999;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 105%;
height: 105%;
background-color:white;
vertical-align:bottom;
padding-top: 20%;
filter: alpha(opacity=75);
opacity: 0.75;
font-size:large;
color:blue;
font-style:italic;
font-weight:400;
background-image: url("../Common/loadingGIF.gif");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center;
}
Now we need to create our div with this class which cover entire page as an overlay whenever the page is getting loaded
<div id="coverScreen" class="LockOn">
</div>
Now we need to hide this cover screen whenever the page is ready and so that we can restrict the user from clicking/firing any event until the page is ready
$(window).on('load', function () {
$("#coverScreen").hide();
});
Above solution will be fine whenever the page is loading.
Now the question is after the page is loaded, whenever we click a button or an event which will take a long time, we need to show this in the client click event as shown below
$("#ucNoteGrid_grdViewNotes_ctl01_btnPrint").click(function () {
$("#coverScreen").show();
});
That means when we click this print button (which will take a long time to give the report) it will show our cover screen with GIF which gives result and once the page is ready above windows on load function will fire and which hide the cover screen once the screen is fully loaded.
Default the contents to display:none and then have an event handler that sets it to display:block or similar after it's fully loaded. Then have a div that's set to display:block with "Loading" in it, and set it to display:none in the same event handler as before.
Here's the jQuery I ended up using, which monitors all ajax start/stop, so you don't need to add it to each ajax call:
$(document).ajaxStart(function(){
$("#loading").removeClass('hide');
}).ajaxStop(function(){
$("#loading").addClass('hide');
});
CSS for the loading container & content (mostly from mehyaa's answer), as well as a hide class:
#loading {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
position: fixed;
display: block;
opacity: 0.7;
background-color: #fff;
z-index: 99;
text-align: center;
}
#loading-content {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
text-align: center;
z-index: 100;
}
.hide{
display: none;
}
HTML:
<div id="loading" class="hide">
<div id="loading-content">
Loading...
</div>
</div>
Well, this largely depends on how you're loading the elements needed in the 'intensive call', my initial thought is that you're doing those loads via ajax. If that's the case, then you could use the 'beforeSend' option and make an ajax call like this:
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: "some.php",
data: "name=John&location=Boston",
beforeSend: function(xhr){ <---- use this option here
$('.select_element_you_want_to_load_into').html('Loading...');
},
success: function(msg){
$('.select_element_you_want_to_load_into').html(msg);
}
});
EDIT
I see, in that case, using one of the 'display:block'/'display:none' options above in conjunction with $(document).ready(...) from jQuery is probably the way to go. The $(document).ready() function waits for the entire document structure to be loaded before executing (but it doesn't wait for all media to load). You'd do something like this:
$(document).ready( function() {
$('table#with_slow_data').show();
$('div#loading image or text').hide();
});
My blog will work 100 percent.
function showLoader()
{
$(".loader").fadeIn("slow");
}
function hideLoader()
{
$(".loader").fadeOut("slow");
}
.loader {
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: 9999;
background: url('pageLoader2.gif') 50% 50% no-repeat rgb(249,249,249);
opacity: .8;
}
<div class="loader"></div>
Create a <div> element that contains your loading message, give the <div> an ID, and then when your content has finished loading, hide the <div>:
$("#myElement").css("display", "none");
...or in plain JavaScript:
document.getElementById("myElement").style.display = "none";
This will be in synchronisation with an api call, When the api call is triggered, the loader is shown. When the api call is succesful, the loader is removed. This can be used for either page load or during an api call.
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: url,
async: true,
dataType: 'json',
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
$( "<div class='loader' id='searching-loader'></div>").appendTo("#table-playlist-section");
$("html, body").animate( { scrollTop: $(document).height() }, 100);
},
success: function (jsonOptions) {
$('#searching-loader').remove();
.
.
}
});
CSS
.loader {
border: 2px solid #f3f3f3;
border-radius: 50%;

I needed a splash screen, which I implemented by reusing parts of the solutions listed here. It uses Vanilla JS for full backwards-compatibility.
Step 1: Add a background with a spinner gif on top of the page, then remove them when everything is loaded.
body.has-js::before {
content: '';
position: fixed;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
z-index: 10;
height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
pointer-events: none;
transition: all .2s;
background: white url('/img/spinner.gif') no-repeat center center / 50px;
}
body.loaded::before {
opacity: 0;
width: 0;
height: 0;
}
Step 2: Add a little script right after the opening body tag to start displaying the load/splash screen.
<body>
<script>
// Only show loader if JS is available
document.body.className += ' has-js';
// Option 1: Hide loader when 'load' event fires
window.onload = function() { document.body.className += ' loaded'; }
// Option 2: Hide loader after 2 seconds, in case the 'load' event never fires
setTimeout(function(){ document.body.className += ' loaded'; }, 1000 * 2);
</script>
<!-- Page content goes after this -->
</body>
Based on #mehyaa answer, but much shorter:
HTML (right after <body>):
<img id = "loading" src = "loading.gif" alt = "Loading indicator">
CSS:
#loading {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
/* 1/2 of the height and width of the actual gif */
margin: -16px 0 0 -16px;
z-index: 100;
}
Javascript (jQuery, since I'm already using it):
$(window).load(function() {
$('#loading').remove();
});
