I have a situation where I'm loading a lot of images that takes a long
time. What I do is I have this code in my template:
<span class='loadMsg' style='display: none; color:lightgray; text-align:
left;'> ... loading images </span>
$('.loadMsg').show();
window.onload = function() {
$(function() {
$('.loadMsg').hide();
});
};
Not the most elegant thing in the world, but it works and meets my needs.
YMMV
