the use of loading.gif

[Rune Back]

How do I use the loading.gif ? I would be interested in using it with a (a)synchronous request i.e. at login when checking with the server that the login info is correct.

regards

In async calls you set up a callback funtion to receive the result of e.g. the login. The callback function removes the loading.gif while you set the loading.gif just before starting the async call.

Have a look at this:

Thank you for the answer! - I've been doing it in the following way, which doesn't seem so neat although it works:

var junk=document.getElementById("submitButtonText").innerHTML

document.getElementById("submitButtonText").innerHTML = "Working..."

// fetching the info from the server

document.getElementById("submitButtonText").innerHTML = junk

I'm sorry for not explaining myself more clearly. - I'm using emy. The main.css should contain everything necessary. I still don't seem to be able to get it to work (although it works here). Furthermore I don't know how to make the loading image to work with a button. Should I just use "my old" way changing the button text?

For this matter, Emy works exactly the same as iUI.
A link in a Li element with a selected="progress" attribute shows up the loading GIF. This attribute is set by internal Ajax mechanism showByHref.

This is the only purpose and default use of this loading gif. If you want to use it on a button or in any other case, you'll have yo code it yourself. That's the KISS philosophy of iUI/Emy.

Doing this is pretty damn simple actually, just add a class to your button (emy.addClass()), create this class in CSS to set the text color to rgba(0,0,0,0) and put the GIF as a background. Remove the class when done.
You're done :)
