Question

I am doing some stuff in my Javascript function and then I have to refresh the page using location.reload();

Is there a simple way with jQuery to show a spinning wheel from the point where the page starts to refresh to the point where the page is loaded?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

While there might be a solution to just wrap .reload() call info your own function and show spinner before it I seriously doubt the effectiveness. As soon as you issues navigational request, your browser starts killing loaded resources (that also means images) and that’s when all GIF’s are going to halt with animation. Well maybe not instantaneous but soon enough to spoil the effect…
