javascriptspin.js

spin.js is not showing up on my site?


I am new to Javacript (very, very new) and I need to place a loading spinner on a site. We currently have a screensaver and once you tap the screen it takes a awhile to get to the necessary url. So, we wanted to place a spinner to make sure users would not continue to tap the screen.

I am using spin.js abd I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong as it is not showing up when I do a test.

Here is the code I am using:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black" />
<title>THE TITLE</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
    background-color: #000;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    width: 1024px;
    overflow: hidden;
    overflow-x: hidden;
    overflow-y: hidden;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
}
a,img,map,area {
    -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="spin.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function () {
var opts = {
  lines: 13, // The number of lines to draw
  length: 20, // The length of each line
  width: 10, // The line thickness
  radius: 30, // The radius of the inner circle
  corners: 1, // Corner roundness (0..1)
  rotate: 0, // The rotation offset
  direction: 1, // 1: clockwise, -1: counterclockwise
  color: '#000', // #rgb or #rrggbb or array of colors
  speed: 1, // Rounds per second
  trail: 60, // Afterglow percentage
  shadow: false, // Whether to render a shadow
  hwaccel: false, // Whether to use hardware acceleration
  className: 'spinner', // The CSS class to assign to the spinner
  zIndex: 2e9, // The z-index (defaults to 2000000000)
  top: '50%', // Top position relative to parent
  left: '50%' // Left position relative to parent
};
var target = document.getElementById('foo');
var spinner = new Spinner(opts).spin(target);
    </script>
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="timeout(7,goto,'screen3.html');">
<a href="SITE URL"><img src="screen2.jpg" width="1024" height="768" border="0"></a>
    <div id="spinner">
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Any advice will be appreciated.


Solution

  • A few things are wrong with your code:

    The spinner works in its most simple form. See working example:

    If you're very new to javascript I suggest reading up on how to use the debugger so you can find the syntax errors for yourself :)
