I'm trying to make a simple page load progress bar with CSS and a bit of JS. I already made a working css, but the problem is the bar shows up after page change, when I would like it to firstly finish the css progress bar animation and then load next page.
HTML animation code:
<div class="progress-css"></div>
CSS animation code:
:root {
--progress-duration: 0.8s;
--progress-height: 2.5px;
--progress-color: rgb(35,163,255);
--progress-color-ending: rgba(35,163,255,0.2);
--progress-shadow: 0 0 3px 2px rgba(0,148,255,0.23);
}
.progress-css {
position: fixed;
height: var(--progress-height);
width: 100%;
background-color: transparent;
z-index: 99999;
box-shadow: none;
transition: 0.8s;
animation: progress-load var(--progress-duration);
-webkit-animation: progress-load var(--progress-duration);
animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
}
#keyframes progress-load {
0% {
background-color: var(--progress-color);
box-shadow: var(--progress-shadow);
width: 0%;
}
20% {
background-color: var(--progress-color);
width: 20%;
}
25% {
background-color: var(--progress-color);
width: 28%;
}
90% {
background-color: var(--progress-color);
width: 85%;
}
100% {
width: 100%;
background-color: var(--progress-color-ending);
box-shadow: none;
}
}
Now, when I will click on a Redirect tag on a website, it will load the specified page, and then it will display progress animation. I would like it to firstly display progress animation, and then load the next page.
I would be grateful for an answer to my question.
JavaScript has an animationend event that can be used to detect when a keyframe animation is complete. Ideally you would wait to add this listener after any required data (if applicable) is completed loading so it doesn't just arbitrarily advance if loading is still in-progress.
document.querySelector('.progress-css').addEventListener('animationend', e=>{
//go to next page or similar
window.location.href = 'subpage.html';
});
Updated example based on more details from the comments:
const progressBar = document.querySelector('.progress-css');
//add a listener to all of the links; modify the query if it should be restricted to specific links
document.querySelectorAll('a').forEach(link => {
link.addEventListener('click', e => {
e.preventDefault(); //stop the default behavior of navigating to a link when clicking an <a> tag
setupLoadingBar( link.href );
});
});
const setupLoadingBar = url => {
const cleanupLoadingBarAndNavigate = e => {
progressBar.removeEventListener('animationend', cleanupLoadingBarAndNavigate); //removing this each time is important to ensure that it doesn't run multiple times if you don't actually navigate away
progressBar.classList.remove('loading');
alert('Navigate to: '+url);
//uncomment this to actually navigate to the url
//window.location.href = url;
}
progressBar.classList.add('loading');
progressBar.addEventListener('animationend', cleanupLoadingBarAndNavigate);
}
:root {
--progress-duration: 4s;
--progress-height: 2.5px;
--progress-color: rgb(35,163,255);
--progress-color-ending: rgba(35,163,255,0.2);
--progress-shadow: 0 0 3px 2px rgba(0,148,255,0.23);

}

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%;

}
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 try to add a preloading animation to my web page.
I found this code that I tried to apply,
However while the CSS works fine, the JS don't the annimation is permanently displayed.
my html :
<head>
<script>
var overlay = document.getElementById("overlay");
window.addEventListener('load', function(){
overlay.style.display = 'none';
})
</script>
<title>Verify Account</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="overlay">
<div class="spinner"></div>
</div>
my CSS :
.spinner{
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
border: 2px solid #f3f3f3;
border-top:3px solid #f25a41;
border-radius: 100%;
position: absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
left:0;
right: 0;
margin: auto;
animation: spin 1s infinite linear;
}
#keyframes spin {
from{
transform: rotate(0deg);
}to{
transform: rotate(360deg);
}
}
#overlay{
height:100%;
width:100%;
position:fixed;
left:0;
top:0;
}
I am a complete noob in JS I might have simply applied it the wrongg way .. or called it the wrong way... don't know... where is my mistake?
Will this also work when my page will process a form or should I modify something to make this preload also appear when form is getting processed?
You should set the visibility to hidden of overlay element.
overlay = document.getElementById('overlay');
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
overlay.style.visibility = "hidden";
}
};
xhttp.open("GET", "https://httpbin.org/get", true);
xhttp.send();
.spinner {
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
border: 2px solid #f3f3f3;
border-top: 3px solid #f25a41;
border-radius: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: auto;
animation: spin 1s infinite linear;
}
#keyframes spin {
from {
transform: rotate(0deg);
}
to {
transform: rotate(360deg);
}
}
#overlay {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;

top: 0;
}

You're almost there!
May I recommend jQuery as an option? If so this is very simple to do, here is a working example with your code. I included a 3 second timer so you can see it action - or else the page loads so quick you never see it.
https://jsfiddle.net/3f4c32qh/
$(document).ready(function(){ //fires when page is done loading
setTimeout(
function()
{
//only need this part..however page loads fast
//so this makes a 3 second pause
$("#overlay").hide()
}, 3000);
});
Actually this is such a common practice there is a shorthand for it:
$(function(){
//stuff to do once page has loaded
});
However, if you want to do a pure JS approach - you're example works just fine! Just make sure you're putting the JS in the end of the body, right before the closing body tag, not in the head section. Here is a JSFiddle with your original code:
https://jsfiddle.net/be9g1a0b/2/
I'm new to programming in javascript and am having a lot of difficulty doing something I believe is simple. I have a loading circle that I want to display when an upload button is clicked (and also want my external php code to run to do image processing). Then, I want the loading screen to go away once the php page is done loading. I'm currently having trouble even getting the loading screen to show. I have the loading circle code in the style section of my header as so:
<head>
<style>
/* Center the loader */
#loader {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 25%;
z-index: 1;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin: -75px 0 0 -75px;
border: 16px solid #f3f3f3;
border-radius: 50%;
border-top: 16px solid #00ff00;
-webkit-animation: spin 2s linear infinite;
animation: spin 2s linear infinite;
}
#-webkit-keyframes spin {
0% { -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg); }
100% { -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg); }
}
#keyframes spin {
0% { transform: rotate(0deg); }
100% { transform: rotate(360deg); }
}
</style>
</head>
Then, I have my upload button and the script in the body as so:
<p class="text-center">
<button onclick="loadingCircle()"> Click to Upload! </button>
</p>
<div id="loader" style="display:none;"></div>
<script>
function loadingCircle() {
$("#loader").show();
}
</script>
Currently, when I click the upload button, no action is happening... any help is appreciated and apologies for the noobness.
Add jquery file https://www.w3schools.com/jquery/tryit.asp?filename=tryjquery_hide
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
or you can hide by using simple javascript:
<script>
function loadingCircle() {
document.getElementById('loader').style.display='block';
}
</script>
the $("#loader") points to the fact that you are trying to use jQuery, which you have not included.
Include it from a cdn, and it should work
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();
.
.
}
});

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();
});
