I found that I can use: {{=LOAD('tenant','stackList.load',ajax=True, target="stackList",vars={ 'reload_div':'stackList'},content=CENTER(IMG(_src=URL(request.application, 'static','images/ajax_loader_blue_256.gif'))))}}
So this gives me a spinner gif inside my component div on page reload. It doesn't give me a spinner though, when response.js = "jQuery('#stackList').get(0).reload()" is called. So my question still stands, the reload time for my stackList controller is quite long, looks okay on page load, but spinner is missing on refresh. Do I have to do something more to get the spinner to work on refresh, or should I be doing my component refresh a different way?
