Noob Q: How get some HTML on the screen while a BIG js library loads.

K

Kenneth Tilton

I am using qooxdoo, a 700+k js library that takes 5s or more to load.
The script tag is in the header.

Is there any way to just stick some HTML in the header or body to get a
simple "Now loading..." on the screen so they know we're working on it?

I tried just putting a <p>Now loading...</p> n the body but never saw it.

thx,

kt

Ask over on comp.lang.php about loading qooxdoo. There are threads active
about it at the moment.

Well, I switched to a so-called "build" of the qooxdoo app and it is
fast enough that I can live without it. Someone on the qooxdoo list
provided HTML which along with an animated GIF worked perty good, but I
yanked it.

Hi Kenneth,

I reckon I could come up with a solution for you but I need to know the
answer to two questions...

1: Is there an "onload=" tag in the <body> element?
2: Does the page work if you move the qooxdoo script to just above the
closing </body> element?

Cheers

Andy
