Hello! I've finished loading!Voilà ! Je suis chargée !

Click me to see me disapear again.Cliquez-moi dessus pour recommencer.

I first tried to integrate [queryLoader](http://www.gayadesign.com/diy/queryloader-preload-your-website-in-style/), but it didn't fill my needs. The plugin add a black div to hide all the content. But as the script had to be launched at the end of the source code my website show for a small time. In order to hide this small artefact, here is how I do that. ## Code In a first time, I added at the top of the body the div hiding all the content.

    content to display during the loading.

...

and here is the associated CSS to `#blackpage`:


#blackpage
  top: 0 
  left: 0 
  width: 100%
  height: 100%
  margin-left: 0
  margin-right: 0
  margin-top: 0
  margin-bottom: 0
  position: absolute
  text-align: center
  color: #666
  padding-top: 10em
  background-color: #eee
  z-index: 9000

and the associated jQuery code:


$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#blackpage').fadeOut();
});

Yes, it is as simple as that. And, putting the `#blackpage` div at the top of my page, I ensure to hide anything while loading. I hope it had helped you!
