Example

Here is a live example of what appear while loading my pages.

Hello! I've finished loading!

Click me to see me disapear again.

Loading... loading logo

I first tried to integrate queryLoader, 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!
