support for activity indicator?

[grimholtz]

Hi,

How would I add an activity indicator (like the kinds shown http://www.ajaxload.info/) to code like this?

<a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
 <h:message id="m1" for="myControl"/>
</a4j:outputPanel>

<a4j:commandButton id="c1" value="Update" action="#{myBean.search}" reRender="pg1"/>

thanks,
grimholtz

You may use a4j:support component to write any animated indicator component. Look through documentation and examples to get more info please.

I'm not sure if there's a better way, but what I ended up doing was:

<a4j:commandButton ... onclick="showIndicator();" oncomplete="hideIndicator();"/>

the two JS functions hide/show a lightbox with animated gif activity indicator.

Here's a better way:
