Progress GIF Not Animated.

Gus CDec 4 2013 — edited Dec 5 2013

Apex 4.2

Theme 21

Page Template; Application Defaut

I have some pages in my application that take a while to load, so I wanted to display something

to show the users while the page was loading.

So from my menu I first branch to a page that will just display the progress gif, then a branch takes the user

to the correct page.

This is all working fine, apart from the progess gif appears, but it is not animated

I have the following code on page zero

<style type="text/css">

#AjaxLoading{padding:5px;font-size:18px;width:250px;text-align:center;left:30%;top:30%;position:absolute;background-color:Lightgrey;}

span.reload{font-size:7pt;margin-left:200px;color:#bbbbbb;font-weight:normal;}

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function html_Submit_Progress(pThis){

$x_Show('AjaxLoading');

window.setTimeout('$s("AjaxLoading",$x("AjaxLoading").innerHTML)', 100);

doSubmit('SAVE');

}

//-->

</script>

<div id="AjaxLoading" style="display:none;">..Retrieving Data From &P0_PROGRESS_TEXT...<br /><img src="/i/processing3.gif" id="wait" /></div>

Any ideas appreciated

The animation is completely self-contained within the GIF. If the animation is not working then the problem is that the browser is not redrawing the GIF. Nothing to do with APEX. Either get a better browser (or put another way, stop using IE), get a faster computer, or try a different method of indicating progress.

I have set up an example on oracle.com

Workspace: guscrighton

User: angus.crighton@havilog.com

Password: terminator

Application: 25851

Page 1

Click on Test at the top left of the screen.

It branches to P18 and it suppossed to show the animated gif and

then branch to P3. Unfortunatley the gif is not animated.
If I just use a button with a submit dynamic action then it works fine.

I managed to solve this using a dynamic action
