Hej!
Jag har en meny som tar 8 sekunder att ladda på sidan. Är det en bra möjlighet att först visa en text typ:"the menu is loading..." undertiden? Är det någon som känner till ett sådant skript? Det måste vara i javaScript eftersom jag bara använder mig av det och html.
Gärna så kort som möjligt, eller att det tar så lite minne som möjligt.

Kanske något i stil med detta exempel?

Det här kanske ger dig en idé:
<code>
<style type="text/css">
#loading {
z-index: 10;
position: absolute;
left: 200px;
top: 20px;

background: #ffc;
border: 5px solid #000;
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
function hideloading()
{
document.getElementById('loading').style.display='none';
}
</script>

<body onload="setTimeout('hideloading()', 5000)">
<div id="loading">
Sidan laddas
</div>
</body>
</code>

<code>
<div id="textin2"><img src="loading_pic.gif"><img src="loading_text.gif"></div>

<script language="javascript">
document.getElementById("textin2").innerText='';
</script>
</code>

väldigt enkel kod, men den funkar. :)

Tack så mycket för hjälpen!!!
