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.
A few things are wrong with your code:
<script/>
tags after eachother (right before ), so that's a syntax error.document.ready
function properly.color:'#000'
in the spinner options, which means the spinner will be black (same as your background color so you will never see it).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 :)
