Question

I’m using jquery’s load() to get some content into a div, and I want to run an other function in the ‘background’ until load() finishes. That function should update a custom throbber every 1 second until $(‘#id’).html() == ” where $(‘#id’).html() is set to ” after load() finishes. Is there any way I can do that?

Answer 1

Have you tried doing what you’re describing? It should work like this:

var interval = setInterval(function() {     // update whatever you want }, 1000); $('#id').load('mypage.php', function() {    clearInterval(interval); });
