I'm making some progress.
I modified my css to define placeholder as an id as follows.
#placeholder{
background-image: url(images/loading.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
/*text-indent:-1000px;*/
font-weight:bold;
}
Now when I expand a node the text saying placeholder that flashes is
in bold. I still don't see the image though.
If I add the following html to my page
<span id="placeholder">placeholder</span>
I see the text placeholder in bold and I see the gif image.
As a test I modified the load function in jquery.treeview.async.js and
replaced text:"placeholder" with text:'<img src="images/loading.gif">'
and that shows the gif image when a tree node is expanding.
I wonder if I have an old version of treeview. The version in jquery-
treeview.async.js says 0.1
