I have this function in javascript :
function loadPage (url){
showLoadPageGif(); // visibility On
document.location.href = getPath + "/" + url ;
}
When I use this function , GIF image is displayed in the screen but not working .
someone has fought before, with this problem ? thnx
i recently ran into this issue using animated SVGs as background-images in pseudo elements. I purposefully put in a large delay on my webserver so i could stay on the current page after window.location = url;
It was weird that all other CSS animations and hovers still worked, but the SVG cog just stuck.
After some playing around i found that the animations continued to run if, instead of changing window.location
, i submitted a GET form.
var url;
//load & setup loading animation
//then generate and submit form with a slight delay
setTimeout(function(){
var new_form;
new_form = document.createElement('form');
new_form.method = 'GET';
new_form.action = url;
document.body.appendChild(new_form);
new_form.submit();
}, 100)
tested on safari 5.1, firefox 24, chrome 32
I assume you mean "GIF animation stops".
This is the correct behavior. Since you go to a new page, all resources for the old page are freed. This of course includes the GIF itself.
You don't "see" this happening because the browser doesn't waste any time rendering a blank page when you assign location.href
.
What you need to do is use an AJAX to request the new page and then replace the whole DOM with the new one in the success handler.
There is a bug in IE6 which stops the animations when you start an AJAX request; to fix that, just assign the src
attribute of the image again (i.e. img.src = img.src;
) to restart them.
Which browser you're using ? I needed to do the same one time if you're using IE just do this :
var loadingFigure = $('#myImage');
var html = loadingFigure.html();
window.location.href = 'myImage';
loadingFigure.html(html);
For firefox is more complicated you need to use an iframe and do something like this :
<iframe id="myIframe" src="/images/busy.gif" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>
$('#myIframe').attr('src', '/images/busy.gif');
window.location.href = 'mylocation'
$('#myIframe').attr('src', '/images/busy.gif');
