JonnoTheDev Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Web project: hotel booking availability On the above project I have a form that users select dates (arrival / departure) and enter a location to search. When complete the system will request available hotels from a remote server based on the user criteria. This is fine, however the remote server can take some time to return XML if there are a high number of hotels to return. What I implemented was a animated gif to be displayed while the data is being parsed. After the form is submitted and validated it simply displays the following: // form validated showLoader(); <div id="loading" style="display:none; position:absolute; width:100%; text-align:center; top:300px; z-index:300;"><img src="{$smarty.const.IMAGE_DIR}loader.gif" border="0"></div> <script language="javascript"> var loader = document.getElementById("loading"); function showLoader() { loader.style.display = "block"; } </script> This displays fine on all browsers however on IE (v8 I am using) the gif does not animate. It sticks at the first frame until the results screen is displayed. Am I missing something here?

JonnoTheDev Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 If I use a flash image that works, unsure why a anim gif doesn't animate on IE. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/166179-loader-gif/#findComment-876427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
