CSS+Javascript pulsating progress bar
A bit like spinner but for the web in html+css+javascript. No ajax involved. It just pulsates perpetually:
<style type="text/css"> /* inspired by http://digitalbush.com/projects/progress-bar-plugin */ /* progress bar container */ #progressbar{ border:1px solid black; width:200px; height:20px; position:relative; } /* color bar */ #progress{ position:absolute; left: 20px; width:10%; height:100%; overflow:hidden; background-color:#369; } </style> <script language="JavaScript"> marg = 0 inc = 10 function update() { e = document.getElementById("progress"); e.style.left = marg + "%"; marg = (marg + inc) % 100 ; if (marg == 0 || marg == (100 - inc)) {inc = - inc;} setTimeout(update, 150); } onload=update; </script> <div id="progressbar"> <div id="progress"> </div></div>
