display wait icon

[terron]

Hello,

since this is a common task,
displaying a "hour glass" or any other GIF moving, to signalize: request working... after firing Ajax,

there should be a common way of do it for Ajax4JSF / RichFaces

is there one?

can you please give me a description or similar?

many thanks!

Sure, take a look to Ajax4JSF status tag in the documentation. (a4j:status).


Sample:

<a4j:status layout="block" startStyleClass="startAjax">
 <f:facet name="start">
 <h:outputText value="request working..."/>
 </f:facet>
 </a4j:status>

Thank you Fernando!

that's what I was looking for :)

If I could give you points or similar I would, but is nothing like that in this forum, is it?

AFAIK there is no something like that. But I think it's not necessary. Everyone that knows (maybe something learned also in this forum) can share their knowledge with the community.

FYI, http://www.ajaxload.info/ has a wizard for creating cool ajax wait icons.

Is there any way i could make the background transparent and display a dialog box in the middle of the page saying "Processing Request....". I thought this could avoid the user from multiple clicks while the request is in process. Iam trying to achieve something like richfaces:modal panel in ajax4jsf.
Any idea on how to achieve this...?


Thanks
Henry

you may orgamize such behaviour useing a4j status as there may be placed anything.
