How show a 'wait' message ?

[valterhenrique]

Hi everyone,

i need to show a message or an image when the user finished of fill some form.

How i could do that ?

I'm using richfaces 4, so far i try this but without success:

<h:body>

<h:form>

   <a4j:commandButton value="Do something"

      action="#{contact.doSomething}"

      status="ajaxStatus"/>

</h:form>

<a4j:status

    id="ajaxStatus"

    onstart="#{rich:component('waitPanel')}

                .show('',{top:'40px', left:'80px',height:'100px', width:'200px'})"

   onstop="#{rich:component('waitPanel')}.hide()" />

<rich:popupPanel id="waitPanel" style="text-align:center" modal="true">

   <h:outputText value="Please wait..."

      style="font-weight:bold;font-size:large" />

</rich:popupPanel>

</h:body>

Any idea how do this ?

Best regards,

Valter Henrique.

Hi Valter,

try this instead,

<h:body>

<h:form>

   <a4j:commandButton value="Do something"

      action="#{contact.doSomething}"

      status="ajaxStatus"/>

<a4j:status

                   id="ajaxStatus"

                   name="ajaxStatus">

          <f:facet name="start">

               <h:graphicImage name="image.gif" library="images"/>

                 <!-- OR -->

               <h:outputText value="Your message"/>

          </f:facet>

</a4j:status>

</h:form>

</h:body>

note : you forgot the name attribute for a4j:status
