How to display the "Loading message" while loading the page

[Abdulaziz A.]

Hi,

I want to show the loading message while loading the page.

I am using the below code to load the page..

isc.HTMLPane.create({
width:"100%",
contentsURL:pagePath,
contentsType: 'page',
overflow:"auto",
styleName:"defaultBorder"
})

PagePath: Jsp URL.

If I don't use the contentsType: 'page', My page is not loading.
So, I wanted to use contentsType as page and I need to display Loading message whileb loading any page.

Thanks,
Bhaskar

Make sure you've read all the warnings in the docs about iframes and loading entire pages. It very rarely makes sense to do this, usually only for something like a help system. It is never ever correct to load a page that contains SmartClient components via an iframe (htmlFlow.contentsType:"page").

That all said, there's no general purpose way to determine that an iframe has finished loading. You can either:

1. embed the loading message in the page itself, similar to how the SmartGWT Showcase shows a loading message (just some simple HTML right in the page itself).

2. add code to the page to call out to the parent frame and invoke a method to tell the parent frame that the page is loaded.
