I want to have a page loaded into a div and while the page is loading display a progress bar ( preferably somewhat close to the actual progress of the page load ) and then after the page is loaded slideUp the bar and display the content.
Current chain of events:
- User Click Links
- Progress Bar Slides Down
- Progress Bar Animates to Page Load
- Progress Bar Slides Up
- Page Content Displays
Code:
function pageLoad(url){
$('body').css('cursor','wait');
$('#page-load-wrap').slideDown();
width = $('#page-load-indicator').css('width','100%');
$('#mainframe').load(url,function(){
$('#page-load-wrap').slideUp();
$('body').css('cursor','default');
});
}
- How would I modify this code to match the actual progress of the resource load?
- How can I slideUp the div before the content appears?
=======EDIT=======
Using the code in the answer below I just set the width to 80% before the get function call then in the success call set it to 100%. Slid the div Up and then displayed the html
function pageLoad(url){
$('body').css('cursor','wait');
$('#mainframe').html('');
$('#page-load-wrap').slideDown();
$('#page-load-indicator').css('width','80%');
$.get(url,function(data){
$('#page-load-indicator').css('width','100%');
$('#page-load-wrap').slideUp('slow',function(){
$('#mainframe').html(data);
});
$('body').css('cursor','default');
});
}
You cant with just javascript.
Use
$.get
instead since it allows you to slide up before setting the content:
