Does someone have a code example of running an animated throbber during asp.net page loads? More than one example would be appreciated.
visible through css [ display:block; ] and make the rest of the page invisible through css[ display:none; ]. Once the loading is done, just make the loading invisible and the page visible again with the same technique. You can use the document. getElementById() to select the divs you want to change the display.
Step 1: Add a background with a spinner gif on top of the page, then remove them when everything is loaded. Step 2: Add a little script right after the opening body tag to start displaying the load/splash screen. Highly active question.
A throbber is generally just an animated .gif that holds the place of content. When the content is loaded, that image is hidden or removed from the dynamic element and replaced with the actual content (or vice versa if you're making a form or similar).
Here's a link to the Facebook "throbber" -

As you can see, it's an animated gif.
Update: If you're still using this for reference then please check out the CSS throbbers in various projects.
On http://ajaxload.info/ you can generate your own :)
You can use asp.net AJAX UpdateProgress control. Put your throbber image in the ProgressTemplate.
The issue with that is you will have to use UpdatePanel for that. If you are already using it nice.
Another options you might want to look into:
Use jQuery to show/hide your throbber.
jQuery UI's progressbar plugin.
