Using Code Step 1: Add loader DIV tag inside body tag. This DIV helps to display the message. Step 2: Add following CSS how it is going to displaying in browser. Step 3: Add following jQuery code when to fadeout loading image when page loads.
I've needed this and after some research I came up with this (jQuery needed):
First, right after the <body> tag add this:
<div id="loading">
<img id="loading-image" src="path/to/ajax-loader.gif" alt="Loading..." />
</div>
Then add the style class for the div and image to your CSS:
#loading {
position: fixed;
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
text-align: center;
opacity: 0.7;
background-color: #fff;
z-index: 99;
}
#loading-image {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 240px;
z-index: 100;
}
Then, add this javascript to your page (preferably at the end of your page, before your closing </body> tag, of course):
<script>
$(window).load(function() {
$('#loading').hide();
});
</script>
Finally, adjust the position of the loading image and the background-color of the loading div with the style class.
This is it, should work just fine. But of course you should have an ajax-loader.gif somewhere or use base64 url for image's src value. Freebies here. (Right-click > Save Image As...)
For jQuery 3.0 and above you can use:
<script>
$(window).on('load', function () {
$('#loading').hide();
})
</script>
The original answer is from jQuery and before flexbox era. You can use many view management libraries / frameworks now like Angular, React and Vue.js. And for CSS you have flexbox option. Below is CSS alternative:
#loading {
position: fixed;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
opacity: 0.7;
background-color: #fff;
z-index: 99;
}
#loading-image {
z-index: 100;
}
This script will add a div that covers the entire window as the page loads. It will show a CSS-only loading spinner automatically. It will wait until the window (not the document) finishes loading, then it will wait an optional extra few seconds.
CSS loader code from https://projects.lukehaas.me/css-loaders
$('body').append('<div style="" id="loadingDiv"><div class="loader">Loading...</div></div>');
$(window).on('load', function(){
setTimeout(removeLoader, 2000); //wait for page load PLUS two seconds.
});
function removeLoader(){
$( "#loadingDiv" ).fadeOut(500, function() {
// fadeOut complete. Remove the loading div
$( "#loadingDiv" ).remove(); //makes page more lightweight
});
} .loader,
.loader:after {
border-radius: 50%;
width: 10em;
height: 10em;
}
.loader {
margin: 60px auto;
font-size: 10px;
position: relative;
text-indent: -9999em;
border-top: 1.1em solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);
border-right: 1.1em solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);
border-bottom: 1.1em solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);
border-left: 1.1em solid #ffffff;
-webkit-transform: translateZ(0);
-ms-transform: translateZ(0);
transform: translateZ(0);
-webkit-animation: load8 1.1s infinite linear;
animation: load8 1.1s infinite linear;
}
@-webkit-keyframes load8 {
0% {
-webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);
transform: rotate(0deg);

100% {

#loadingDiv {
position:absolute;;
top:0;

background-color:#000;
}This script will add a div that covers the entire window as the page loads. It will show a CSS-only loading spinner automatically. It will wait until the window (not the document) finishes loading.
<ul>
<li>Works with jQuery 3, which has a new window load event</li>
<li>No image needed but it's easy to add one</li>
<li>Change the delay for branding or instructions</li>
<li>Only dependency is jQuery.</li>
</ul>
Place the script below at the bottom of the body.
CSS loader code from https://projects.lukehaas.me/css-loaders
<!-- Place the script below at the bottom of the body -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>window.onload = function(){ document.getElementById("loading").style.display = "none" }#loading {width: 100%;height: 100%;top: 0px;left: 0px;position: fixed;display: block; z-index: 99}
#loading-image {position: absolute;top: 40%;left: 45%;z-index: 100} <div id="loading">
<img id="loading-image" src="img/loading.gif" alt="Loading..." />
</div> Page loading image with simplest fadeout effect created in JS:
I have another below simple solution for this which perfectly worked for me.
First of all, create a CSS with name Lockon class which is transparent overlay along with loading GIF as shown below
.LockOn {
display: block;
visibility: visible;
position: absolute;
z-index: 999;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 105%;
height: 105%;
background-color:white;
vertical-align:bottom;
padding-top: 20%;
filter: alpha(opacity=75);
opacity: 0.75;
font-size:large;
color:blue;
font-style:italic;
font-weight:400;
background-image: url("../Common/loadingGIF.gif");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center;
}
Now we need to create our div with this class which cover entire page as an overlay whenever the page is getting loaded
<div id="coverScreen" class="LockOn">
</div>
Now we need to hide this cover screen whenever the page is ready and so that we can restrict the user from clicking/firing any event until the page is ready
$(window).on('load', function () {
$("#coverScreen").hide();
});
Above solution will be fine whenever the page is loading.
Now the question is after the page is loaded, whenever we click a button or an event which will take a long time, we need to show this in the client click event as shown below
$("#ucNoteGrid_grdViewNotes_ctl01_btnPrint").click(function () {
$("#coverScreen").show();
});
That means when we click this print button (which will take a long time to give the report) it will show our cover screen with GIF which gives 
result and once the page is ready above windows on load function will fire and which hide the cover screen once the screen is fully loaded.
Default the contents to display:none and then have an event handler that sets it to display:block or similar after it's fully loaded. Then have a div that's set to display:block with "Loading" in it, and set it to display:none in the same event handler as before.
