I created a mobile app using jQtouch. I need to let my user know when an ajax call is loading after they've pressed a form button. So I want to load a mask and a simple loading gif.
I can get it to work on the desktop version of the app with no problem, but on the mobile with the jQtouch framework I can't.
I've tried jquery-loadmask and the jquery.loading plugin.
Anyone have any experiece with jQtouch and creating a loading notice?
Unfortunately the site won't let me deep link to the relevant section, but you'll find a solution about half way down this page (Just cntr+F and search for "progress indicator"):

This isn't specific to jQTouch, but you should be able to tie it in and pre-load the loading graphic using jQTouch's init options.
Hope that helps.
You could use the jQuery blockUI plugin (http://jquery.malsup.com/block/). I've used it succesfully in a project and it's really easy to integrate. It works well both on iPhone and Android.
