Hardcoded image location in LazyLoad snippet

[Sergey Trofimov]

Hello David.

I′ve found, that location of ajax-loader.gif is hardcoded in LazyLoad snipped.
This cause some inconvenience when we want to use alternate image location or image filename.
Can we make the path "/images/ajax-loader.gif" (and alt text, I think) customizable?

You can already override that path, by specifying an alternate template
to be shown while loading:

<lift:lazy-load template="customtemplate">....</lift:lazy-load>

Customtemplate can contain an <img> tag pointing to whatever image you
want to be shown, or even some completely different html (perhaps you
don't want to show an image at all?)

Regards,
Jan
