JQUERY in .NET 1.1 -- Loading Message

Question

Hello,

I am a newbie to JQUERY.. I want to use it in .NET 1.1 application. When a button is clicked it takes long time to populate the results on to my control .. I want to show " loading ..please wait" message to the user..

How can I achieve this ??

Answer 1

jquery is a client-side javascript library. Thus it doesn't matter what version of .NET is running on the server.

I think what you're looking to do is to have an update progress message display. Microsoft Ajax has this already implemented. .Net 1.1 can use the ajax framework and it's very easy to drop an update panel and an update progress control on a page and have the functionality that you're looking for. Here is a link to a simple example.

Offical page for MS Ajax

Update Progress Demostration

Web.config setup:

<add tagPrefix="ajax" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" 
                      assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" />
<add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI" 
                     assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0,
                     Culture=neutral, 
                     PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />

And the DLL's to include in the BIN folder:

AjaxControlToolkit.dll
AJAXExtensionsToolbox.dll

Good luck and hope this helps some.

This could help you:

$(document).ready(function(){
    var loading = $('#loadingPlaceholder');

    $('#somebutton').click(function(){
        $(loading).html('loading');
        $.ajax({
            url: 'test.html',
            success: function(){
                $(loading).html('');
            }
        });
    });
});
