The plugins site is currently in development.
We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.
“busyBox”, a simpler and cooler AJAX-Loader jQuery plugin
busyBox is intended to display the HTML box(es) to be updated by an AJAX request as 'busy' while performing such request.
This plugin differs from others in the way it just put a transparent 'layer' over the involved boxes (this using a jQuery selector) instead of putting it over the entire body, in this way the user will specifically know which sections of the page are being updated.
Example of usage:
var loading = $("#my_container").busyBox({
spinner: '<img src="themes/gold/images/loading.gif" />'
});
$.ajax({
url: "/my-url",
success: function(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest){
$("#my_container").html(data).fadeIn('fast');
},
complete: function complete(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus){
loading.busyBox('close');
}
});
