Question

I have the following code:

[DOCUMENT READY]

$("#hincl_working").dialog({autoOpen: false, modal: true});

[SOME JS FUNCTION]

$("#hincl_working").dialog("open");

PROCESSING (takes a few seconds sometimes)

I would like the dialog to open BEFORE the processing starts (and then close right after the processing), but the dialog only shows up AFTER the processing, which is not what I want.
Any thoughts?

Answer 1

use javascript’s setTimeout to delay your processing with 100 milliseconds or so

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.setTimeout

call your PROCESSING function like this, maybe also change the casing.

window.setTimeout(function(){PROCESSING(tile, id)}, 100);
