Hello al,
I have made a post yesterday (late in the evening), but that one wasn't very clear to you, so I hope this will be better.
I have found a code which I'd like to use as a preloader for my website. It seems to work, but the problem is that the complete website is still visible. The maker of this script claims that the preloader should cover the website and disappear when the page is loaded.
The preloader does disappear, but the website is on top of the preloader, I have to say that it is a Joomla website, can someone explain to me why it isn't the website isn't covered by the preloader. I think it's because there is a lot of code which is loaded before the actual head section begins.
This is the code:
<!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Original: Gilbert Davis -->
<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->
<!-- Begin
function loadImages() {
if (document.getElementById) { // DOM3 = IE5, NS6
document.getElementById('hidepage').style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
else {
if (document.layers) { // Netscape 4
document.hidepage.visibility = 'hidden';
}
else { // IE 4
document.all.hidepage.style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
}
}
// End -->
</script>
</HEAD>
<!-- STEP TWO: Insert the onLoad event handler into your BODY tag -->
<BODY OnLoad="loadImages()">
<!-- STEP THREE: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document -->
<div id="hidepage" style="position: absolute; left:5px; top:5px; background-color: #FFFFCC; layer-background-color: #FFFFCC; height: 100%; width: 100%;">
<table width=100%><tr><td>Page loading ... Please wait.</td></tr></table></div>
<!-- put the rest of your page contents here -->
