I’m writing a ajax chatting webapp, just to test working with GWT.
To simulate server side push of chat messages from the server to the browser, I have a XHR request running behind. It all works fine – except on Chrome, the browser is displaying a loading icon (a spinner) because of the XHR request on background.
Is there any way to avoid this? I’ve tested it in Firefox, and it doesn’t display such behavior.
EDIT – I found the solution. http://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit/browse_thread/thread/a0330cb47e05c485?fwc=2
quoting the GWT groiup post:
Chrome shows the loading indicator if connection was made immediately
from the “body onload()”, i.e. from onModuleLoad().
