Well, this is not *really* a CakePHP issue, more an Ajax one. The psuedo-code is pretty easy: 1) create an <div> that contains whatever graphic you want to use to display the loading symbol and hide it 2) create an onChange event (I'm pretty sure it's onChange) that unhides the div that displays the loading symbol, linking it to an action in your controller that loads the data 3) when the it's done, hide the <div> Repeat as many times as necessary. An oversimplification? Perhaps, but that's the basics. -- Chris Hartjes Senior Developer Cake Development Corporation My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" @TheBallpark - http://www.littlehart.net/attheballpark @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
