A new version of Web 2.0 AJAX Loading Panel has been released on March 26, 2009. Follow this link to see what’s new and improved.
A client of mine asked me if it is possible to separate the function that creates the cool modal semi-transparent loading effect of my website (and many others, as well) from the XmlHTTPRequest function, so it could be used with other AJAX engines or for other purposes. Now, with Web 2.0 AJAX Loading Panel, this effect could be easily attached to any other script’s or AJAX framework’s onAjaxRequestStart and onAjaxRequestComplete methods. It is easy to install and run with several lines of code and only three functions for init on pageload, display and hide, and its look and feel is totally customizable via the LoadingMessage/Config.xml file.
Please, refer to the INSTALLATION_NOTES.txt in the distribution file for detailed overview of installing, running and handling the script and explanation of the properties of the <loadingmessage /> and <modalpanel /> collections.
This script is included in the latest version of Acid.JS – The AJAX Tools and Widgets Library as well.
