Loading Animation

I've searched these forums looking for an answer to this question and was somewhat surprised I couldn't find anything. Would it be possible to have a loading animation display while the editor was loading as opposed to having a big white space. This would be extremely beatifically to users on slower connections because they have an indication that something is still loading.

Re: Loading Animation

Sorry to double post but even if there was a way to have a loading animation display under the fckeditor so when fckeditor is loading you could see the animated gif or what every animation is used and when fckeditor loads, it simply displays infront of the animation.

Re: Loading Animation

Hi,
I'm using a workAround:
a) first, at the top of the textarea I'm adding a Div with a tex an some gif like "loading..."

<div id="board" style="position:absolute; left:10px">
<p><span class="style1">...Please wait a moment... the Editor is being loaded... <img src="/FCKEditor/editor/dialog/common/images/LoadingImg.gif">
</div>

b) there is a event called FCKeditor_OnComplete( EditorInstance ). Once the editor is fully loaded, this even take place. You can hide the Div then:

function FCKeditor_OnComplete( [nameoftheInstance] )
{ document.getElementById('board').style.visibility = 'hidden';}

Ha! remember also Hide the Div if the document is not being Edited.

Hope this helps

Re: Loading Animation

Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for. So can I just write a FCKeditor_OnComplete function and it will be called when FCKeditor is finished loading?
