## Example
Here is a live example of what appear while loading my pages.
<div id="demo" style="width:45%; position: relative; height: 8em; background-image: url('/Scratch/css/img/red.jpg'); background-position: 50% 50%; color: #fff; text-align: center; padding-top: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: solid 10px rgba(255,255,255,0.7); -webkit-border-radius: 1em; -moz-border-radius: 1em; border-radius: 1em; cursor: pointer; ">
<p><en>Hello! I've finished loading!</en><fr>Voilà ! Je suis chargée !</fr></p>
<p><en>Click me to see me disapear again.</en><fr>Cliquez-moi dessus pour recommencer.</fr></p>
<div id="todisapear" style="color: #000; position:absolute;top:0;left:0;text-align: center; padding-top: 1em; width: 100%; background-color: #eee; height: 8em;">
Loading...
<img style="border: none; background-color: none; background: none" src="/Scratch/img/loading.gif" alt="loading logo"/>
</div>
<script>
function Rabbit(){
$('#todisapear')
.show()
.animate({opacity: 1.0},3000)
.fadeOut();
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#todisapear').animate({opacity: 1.0},3000).fadeOut();
$('#demo').click(Rabbit);
});
</script>
</div>
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.
<div>
<code class="html">
...
<body>
<div id="blackpage">
content to display during the loading.
</div>
...
</code>
</div>
and here is the associated CSS to `#blackpage`:
<div>
<code class="css">
#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
</code>
</div>
and the associated jQuery code:
<div>
<code class="javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#blackpage').fadeOut();
});
</code>
</div>
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!
