I'm trying to get a CSS loader showing up on the website while content is loading. I'm using this tool to create the loader: http://cssload.net/
Some of my pages do have a lot of tabs and the content has to be loaded before the user can interact with the website. I don't know what I have to look for to get this loader showing up.
I think I have to use the .onload() JavaScript?
You need to toggle the visibility of that image tag which contains the gif. Just simply show the image initially and when the page is loaded, hide the image.
Sample demo: http://jsfiddle.net/GCu2D/140/
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a').click(function(){
$('img').toggle();
return false;
})
});
This is a jQuery code, although you can do the same in javascript. by setting display to none or block accordingly.
place the loader on the page on top of all other elements and give it an id 'loader' for example then try this:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', onReady, false);
function onReady()
{
var loader = document.getElementById('loader');
loader.style.display = 'none';
}
Note: this wont work in IE < 9

My website is : https://365arts.me/
So it loads about 16mbs of pics(Yes I know, I'm stupid. I'll try to change it very soon, also if someone could tell me a way to reduce size of do something else(like dynamic loading only when needed, if something like that exists) I'd be very grateful).
I added a preloader for it using:
[html]:
<div class="spinner-wrapper">
<div class="spinner">
<div class="dot1"></div>
<div class="dot2"></div>
</div>
</div>
and corresponging [jquery]:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
//Preloader
$(window).on("load", function() {
preloaderFadeOutTime = 500;
function hidePreloader() {
var preloader = $('.spinner-wrapper');
preloader.fadeOut(preloaderFadeOutTime);
}
hidePreloader();
});
});</script>
this works well but the problem is I have a javascript code that comes and says Hi! but it runs only for 2.8 seconds. So if loading takes up more than that, It doesnt show up. Can someone please tell me how to make sure that it loads only exactly after loading is completed.
Thanks a ton.
Code for my website:
https://github.com/richidubey/365-Days-Of-Art/blob/master/index.html
this may work
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
// your code here
}, false);
if you are happy with pure javascript
My first suggestion is to just get rid of the "Hi!" message since you already have a splash page in the form of the loader. But if you really want that second splash page, you can use the JQuery when() method:
$(window).on("load", function() {
$.when($('.spinner-wrapper').fadeOut(500)).then(displaySplashPage);
});
This assumes that displaySplashPage() is your function for showing the "Hi!" message.
You don't need $(document).ready() and window.on("load") here. Document ready waits for the HTML to be built, then applies event listeners/functions/etc to the structure. Window onload waits for everything to get loaded, then fires. In your case, you're trying to wait for all your pictures to load, so you only need onload.
You might need to have a container around all your main content set to opacity: 0 that switches to opacity: 1 as part of displaySplashPage(). That would prevent things from leaking through as you do the .fadeOut() on the loader.
JavaScript version - run js code when everything is loaded + rendered
window.onload = function() {
alert("page is loaded and rendered");
};
jQuery version (if you need it instead pure JS)
$(window).on('load', function() {
alert("page is loaded and rendered");
});
You can try this:
<script>
// Preloader
$(window).on("load", function() {
fadeOutTime = 500;
sayHelloDuration = 5000;
function hideSayHello() {
var sayHello = $('.say-hello');
sayHello.fadeOut(fadeOutTime);
}
function hidePreloader() {
var preloader = $('.spinner-wrapper');
preloader.fadeOut(fadeOutTime);
setTimeout(function() {
hideSayHello();
}, sayHelloDuration);
}
hidePreloader();
});
</script>
Also, remove the code from lines 83 ~ 87:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.say-hello').delay(2800).fadeOut('slow');
});
</script>
About your website performance, you can improve a lot of things right now:
Use smaller thumbnail images on your front page, don't load FULL SIZE images at once. "work-showcase" section is really heavy without real necessity.
Try to incorporate src-set and smaller images for small screens, larger/heavier images for bigger screens. All modern browsers support it, and it will improve performance/loading speed.
Try to lazyload your big images, e.g. only when users scroll down to them, not before. It may take some work to integrate it with your image viewer, but it will additionally speed things up on initial load. My favorite library for this is this one: https://github.com/aFarkas/lazysizes but, you may find something else...
Unrelated to your original question, I have noticed that you have a bug in your HTML - see this screenshot. What kind of code editor do you use? Instead of empty space it apparently inserts invisible dots symbols which are not good. Actually, it's not the invisible dot (that's my editor's space indentation symbol), it's caused by 2 long dash (instead of short dash or minus) in your code after opening html comment tag:
i want create a focus on location "Molise, italy" when load a SVG map in my page http://goo.gl/0ZywjM
so i have created this simple script in jquery
<script>
jQuery('#path20684').click();
</script>
it work , but only after load the page and after insert this from chrome console , if insert this on footer not work because the svg file it not part of dom. how i can solve this, or have other solution ?
update it work only with this:
window.setInterval(function(){
jQuery('#path20684').click();
}, 1000);
but with this every second is clicked , so i think the problem is the script start before a SVG file is loaded, how solve ?
http://jsfiddle.net/CYhgZ/90/
please check the above link for demo
$(function() {
// when click event happens below code executed
$('path').on('click', function() {
alert("clicked")
});
//simulating click event automatically when page load
$('path').trigger("click");
//or
//$('path').click();
});
here's the structure of the code: http://jsfiddle.net/ss1ef7sq/
although it's not really working at js fiddle but the code itself is working as i've tested it locally through firefox.
this is where i've based this on: http://html.net/tutorials/javascript/lesson21.php
jquery/ajax:
$('#ep-101').click(function(){$('.main-container').load('link.html #ep101').hide().fadeIn(800);});
$('#ep-102').click(function(){$('.main-container').load('link.html #ep102').hide().fadeIn(800);});
$('#ep-103').click(function(){$('.main-container').load('link.html #ep103').hide().fadeIn(800);});
$('#ep-104').click(function(){$('.main-container').load('link.html #ep104').hide().fadeIn(800);});
$('#ep-105').click(function(){$('.main-container').load('link.html #ep105').hide().fadeIn(800);});
so my question is, is there a way to make it like a shorter code where it can just get the value of those #10ns or assuming that there will be a different page with it's own nest of unique ids without typing them individually? there's still a lot i don't understand with ajax so i'd appreciate it if anyone can help & explain at least the gist of it as well.
i've looked around online but i'm really stuck. i also at least found out that it's possible to add transitions but the way it's coded there is that it will only have the transition for the incoming page & not the one that will be replaced. i also have a prob with page loaders effects but i'll save it for when i'm stuck there as well.
thanks in advance. =)
Use classes instead of id's. Set href attribute which you want to load on click and access it via $(this).attr('href').
<a class="load-me" href="link1.html">link 1</a>
<a class="load-me" href="link2.html">link 2</a>
...
Script:
$('.load-me').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('.main-container').hide().load($(this).attr('href'), function() {
// ...
$(this).fadeIn(800);
})
});
JSFiddle
If you need the load to wait container hiding animation, you could make it other way.
$('.load-me').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// get the url from clicked anchor tag
var url = $(this).attr('href');
// fade out the container and wait for animation complete
$('.main-container').fadeOut(200, /* animation complete callback: */ function(){
// container is hidden, load content:
$(this).load(url, /* load complete callback: */ function() {
// content is loaded, show container up
$(this).slideDown(200);
});
});
});

I am developing an app using jquery mobile..
In that i want to show something like progress dialog from one page to another.
I have tried
$.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg();
but it takes a specific amount of time while showing...
Actually my other page loads few graphs so it takes time...
How can we show progress as soon as the graph loads on the other page?
I think You can make use of the events like pagebeforecreate or pagecreatelike
And placing the $.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg() in proper place in the code can place major thing.
$('#aboutPage').live('pagebeforecreate',function(event){
alert('This page was just inserted into the dom!');
});
$('#aboutPage').live('pagecreate',function(event){
alert('This page was just enhanced by jQuery Mobile!');
});
You can go though the follwing like :
http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a3/#docs/api/events.html
Surround it in
$(document).ready(function() { ... }
if you aren't already
If you use AJAX to switch between pages you can do the following:
jQuery.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function() {
$('#loadingDiv').show()
},
complete: function(){
$('#loadingDiv').hide()
},
success: function() {}
});
"loadingDiv" is your container with spinner gif image (for example).
I know this has been asked and answered many times in this forum. But it does not work in what I am looking for.
I want to display a loading indicator while the ajax div is loading. There are cases when it takes a few minutes to load so it would be good to let the user know that the is loading.
From what I gathered it can be done in jquery. I am not too familiar with jquery yet. With this code the loading works but only for the first page.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('body').append('<div id="ajaxBusy"><p><img src="ajax-loader.gif"></p></div>');
});
$(document).ajaxStart(function(){
$('#ajaxBusy').show();
}).ajaxStop(function(){
$('#ajaxBusy').hide();
});
My page is structured like this
Header Page
-Div (display ajax here)
-Another div within the first loaded page(Load another page through ajax here)
I need it to display the loading indicator in the second div while it's loading. I am assuming that jquery "body" appends it to the main page body once and doesn't run again as it's within the same page. I did try to create a div and instead of body, load the div in jquery but it doesn't work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I found that the easiest way to add the loader gif to specific elements is to create a CSS class with the loader as a background instead of appending an actual image:
.ajax-loader {
background: url(ajax-loader.gif) center center no-repeat;
}
Then you just add that class to the element you are loading and remove it when it is done:
// Removes any loaded images on Ajax success
var removeLoader = function(event, XMLHttpRequest, ajaxOptions)
{
$('.ajax-loader').removeClass('ajax-loader');
};
// Add the ajax loader to a specific element and remove it when successful
$('.div1').addClass('ajax-loader').load('mypage.html', removeLoader);
considering that the div you want to load your image has an id="theDiv"
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#theDiv').append('<div id="ajaxBusy"><p><img src="ajax-loader.gif"></p></div>');
});
Is there a reason you're appending your "ajaxBusy" div via Javascript? Why not just include the HTML on the page itself?
<div id="main">
<div id="ajaxBusy">
<p><img src="ajax-loader.gif"></p>
</div>
</div>
Try binding the ajaxStart and ajaxStop to the ajaxBusy div instead of the document.
$('#ajaxBusy').ajaxStart(function(){
$(this).show();
}).ajaxStop(function(){
$(this).hide();
});
