Animated Gif

[Jaime]

Quick question about phpexe. My app displayed an animated gif just
after a submit button is pressed and before a form is submitted. The
processing of the form takes a few seconds to execute. During this
this in the phpexe compiled app, the animated gif stops moving. I use
this gif to show some processing is taking place. Is there a way for
the gif to move while the form is processing?

Hi Jaime,

I think setting "external.buffering = false" should help. It is described
here:

And in more detail in this forum post:

That did not quite work for me, since with buffeting the page just
became blank after the submit, and waited for the form target page to
be drawn. However what I did is to use the replace the animated gif
by a busy cursor by adding the following javascript when my submit
button is pressed

document.body.style.cursor = "wait";

And that produces the effect I needed.

Thanks,
Jaime
