Please wait while recalculating

Richard Braman
Message
While I must say I am starting to love the Xforms/AJAX approach in OPS,  I do have a question.  When you are doing a large recalc, it may take some time to complete.
 
Do you have any ideas for informing a user that the calculate is happening.  Here are some pssible suggestions: 
 
putting a message  in the status bar that says recalculating, please wait.
 
popping up an event based dhtml progress bar
 
 
What would it take to add something like this to OPS so that it was well integrated with AJAX?

You could change the ajax loading property to true in the properties.xml to true

It should show a loading image at the top left whenever the xforms AJAX engine does something

RE: Please wait while recalculating

Richard Braman
Its not showing up because my bg image is covering it
    <xhtml:div style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:778px; height:1002px;">
     <xhtml:img id="bgimage" src="/images/forms/f1040ez-1.png"/>
    </xhtml:div>
 
It comes up when I remove this code.
 
I like it , but how do I make it work for me.  I guess I would have to do something to make it pop up in a new layer or window.

You could amend the xforms-loading CSS with a different bgcolor and z-index

RE: Please wait while recalculating

Richard Braman
That is red hot.  Thanks Ryan, and of course whoever made it do that.  I suppose I could probably let the user turn it on and off some way.
I know I saw some code to highlight inputs when the user clicked a button.  I did have to chnage the index of my bgimage as well.
