wow its dead in here, is my question not clear enough

Your question is not put well.

Are you saying you want something to appear while the page is loading and then that disappears once the page has loaded?

Is this for a landing page? If so, I don't see how it can be done at nothing will show until the page has loaded; if it's a transitional within the site -- going from one page to another on the site, then there are options.

Please redescribe your question as it just doesn't make sense really.

you could put some text on the page and use javascript to remove it when page has loaded.

but this wont work if people have javascript disabled.

I have a page on my site with a widget, which takes quite a long time to load, so I wanted to put some text above the widget saying "Loading...please be patient" or something along them lines, then when the page has loaded I want the text to go.

no help on this 1 then !

It will have to be built into the "widget"

"It" knows when it starts loading and only "it" knows when it has loaded.

**webmaster flex** · 10-27-2008, 12:46 PM

does the page not finish loading when the widget is loaded?

**chrishirst** · 10-27-2008, 12:58 PM

Maybe, maybe not. Really depends on what the "widget" is

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function() {
document.getElementById("message").style.display="none";
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<span id="message">Hello World</span>
</body>
</html>

If the so-called "widget" loads on page-load, the above (very simple) example will work. The key is to have an ID on the element you wish to dissappear when the page loads, then target it with JavaScript and an onload event.

**JohnDiamond** · 10-28-2008, 09:28 PM

I'm curious to see it in action. Would you mind giving us the link to your site?

**webmaster flex** · 10-29-2008, 07:08 AM

not quite yet, its still working progress

**pingeyeg** · 11-05-2008, 10:33 AM

The best way to do this, which is kind of odd to want, is to use some PHP code with a conditional statement.

if(codition) {
echo "Text";
} elseif(condition) {
echo "";
}
