animated GIF freezes on submit

[nadeemshafi9]

hello guys

 

im doing one of those loading things because my search engine is very deep and takes time so im using a freebe gif and im popping it in using create element and stuff, but when i submit the search it works a few times then after a few times it freezes the gif, i heard all browsers do this do animated gifs on submit is it true is there any way around this.

 

thanks guys

My guess is that the event handler isn't returning a boolean properly.

I assume you are loading the search page using a standrad form (not AJAX), in that cause, the page element (including gifs) will stop working when the request is sent to the server. The pause time is for the server time to process results and send it back to the browser. You might want to use AJAX or iframes with some scripting to accomplish the "wait..." git.
