Good afternoon all, I am looking for a example of a site with a "Hide Until Page Finishes Loading" feature, as I wanted to test whether it was SE friendly as I am looking to create a loading page for one of my clients. Many thanks, Si
I guess we all have our reasons for doing things but why would you want to do that? Personally, if I don't see any "loading action" from a site within a few seconds I'm gone. I think most people would be the same. Just curious....
Certainly if the whole page were in one huge monstrous table, nothing would show up until the browser rendered the whole thing. Which isn't a good idea and I don't think you mean to hide the whole page, but that's the first thing that came to mind.
Sounds like you want to preload your entire page. Preloading images using JS has been around some time, but I do agree with everyone else, I've never seen a good reason for its use. A quick google search brought up a few tutorials on HTML preloading. (None of the solutions were works of brilliance though)
Stupid idea, unless you're creating some sort of application like Gmail. You could possibly use Javascript to generate that loading.gif everyone uses, and let it stay for 3-5 seconds or until the page//iframe//frame// whatever loads.
Yeah, I am looking for an example, as a client of ours has a website with a flash splash page, however, we want to simply add a loading page, which appears whilst all of the images on the homepage are loading. When the images have loaded, the users gets shown the actual homepage, but I cannot see a good demo or example anywhere. Si
