Flash messages

[Maurice Waka]

In web2py we have flash messages such as 'Success' when form is accepted etc. 

Is there a way to have an animation flash with a  message such as 'loading', 'Please wait' in web2py as the page reloads?

*** My pages sometimes take a few more seconds to open e.g. switching from index  page to other html.views.

Kind regards

This isn't in the flash, but I have this in one of my views:

<DIV id="my_hosts">
   {{=LOAD(c='thosts', f='thosts2.load', target='my_hosts', ajax=True)}}
       <span id="jsoffs">Javascript off?  <a href="thosts2.html" id="jsoffa">Click here</a></span>
       <br>
       <span class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></span>
   </DIV>

My first attempt at putting this in a flash message  (seesion.flash for the page I was working with, because it does a redirect) didn't do anything

/dps

Dave. Did you send a blank message?

I guess you have to use ajax to load the page

for example use js

jQuery('#target').html("<span class='icon-retweet'></span>LOADING...");  // this creates a spinner or a waiting message in the #target 

ajax('"yoururl", [], 'target');when data received, replaces the spinner..... in the #target

Just an example . I´m sure there is other options...
