jquery ajax loading overlay plugin [closed]

Question

Does anybody know of a nice plugin for ajax loading overlay preventing any other action in the browser till the data gets loaded.

Answer 1

loadmask plugin

Answer 2

Try blockUI: http://malsup.com/jquery/block/

This doesn't have any connection to AJAX inherently, but it's something you can invoke when doing your own AJAX calls separately.

Answer 3

i made one more tailored to this sort of thing:

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/loading

All you need to do is:

$.loading({onAjax:true,mask:true});

That'll wire it up to ajax events automatically. There are a great many more options and features though. You can use text, arbitrary elements, apply "pulse" effects and more. Check out the demo:
