I'm trying to show a loading area after a certain action from the user. I want to show the loading animation in the center of the screen while showing the rest of the page greyed out, in the background.
At this point, my problem is that the loading animation is greyed out too, and I just want to grey out the background. The white box should be opaque but is a bit transparent too. Any help?
$('input[type=button]').click(function() {
$("#shader").fadeIn();

use a rgb background background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65);
with opacity
you have added opacity
so the children's will also inherit
it

another solution would be you can add a extra div
with opacity
html
<div id="shader" class="shader">
<div class="overlay"></div> <!-- new div added which will act as greyed background -->
<div class="loadingContainer">
<div id="divLoading3">

</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

The problem is that your loadingContainer is inside the div that you are fading. You need a separate shaderBg div, like this:
<div id="shader" class="shader">
<div class="shaderBg"> </div>
<div class="loadingContainer">
<div id="divLoading3">
<div id="loader-wrapper">
<div id="loader"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
