I have an image carousel on my page with some fairly small images. the issue is not with the images but with the script itself. I want to display a javascript loader image while the entire plugin is loaded and is ready for action.
when i launch the page, the carousel <li> first display like a normal list, then get formed into the carousel. i want to avoid that and display a loader image while the entire thing is loaded.
try this image loader or you can find more image loaders in the internet, you can run image loader indipendently from what page containing. so it is not a part of carousel.

I have a web page which is loading more than 1000 images per page and these images are located on Amazon severs.
I have added jQuery plugins to this page which are local to the webserver, I am not using any remote JS or CSS.
When the page is loaded for the first time or refreshed the page looks distorted and images are overlapping each other. When the content is fully loaded or cached the page displays correctly.
Is there is a way to load the images in a way that will make the page look good during loading?
Display gif images while original image is loading.
Try
jQuery Image Loader
or

My goal is to link to photo galleries directly on a web page that uses a Jquery’s “Animate” and JS/CSS. The page in question is witold.org (click on either photo to go to a gallery I want to link directly.)
I learned why this is not possible due to security issues.
As such, I was thinking that perhaps I can create additional HTML pages for each gallery with just the gallery script. For example, this page.
But even though I am using the same gallery script, linking to the same CSS and same JS, the gallery has a lot of errors. Gallery seems to partially load: no photos load initially but when mouse is over the thumbs they show up, and when one clicks on a thumb the large JPG shows up. But then everything seems to stop working. I can't increment to next photo via clicking thumbs or clicking arrows.
I am missing some fundamental piece of this, but not sure what... I guess my question is that if I navigate to the gallery via main page it works but when I strip only gallery code to a seperate html page the code fails. Any ideas?
In my scenario, I'm linking to fairly large images (both in dimensions and filesize). It's understandable that fancybox will have to load for a few seconds before displaying them. The problem is that the loading animation is not showing up, so when the user clicks the thumbnail, it gives the impression that nothing is happening. Fancybox eventually comes up a few seconds later.
There is a secondary issue, also. The images are set to display as a gallery, via the "rel" attribute. Even when the user is viewing one image, browsing to the next takes a while (again, due to filesize), but because the throbber is not showing up, it seems like the prev/next buttons are not working. Any ideas?
I should add that I'm using fancybox v2.
My code (after including the necessary css and scripts for fancybox and the buttons helper, of course): http://pastebin.com/u3g8U8FS
Updating to the latest version (2.0.6) did the trick.
Make sure that the fancybox_loading.gif as well as the fancybox_sprite.png files are in the same folder as the jquery.fancybox.css file
I can't seem to find any solid code on this at the moment, but I wanted to know (if possible) how to have all the images on a webpage preloaded using JavaScript or JQuery, for example.
Maybe have a pre-loading screen or overlay that displays while the images are being preloaded to the site, then fades out or disappears when done. Any help/direction on this would be amazing!
Thank you!
You could display a splash screen or a loading screen while the page is loading, and then remove this screen when JQuery tells you the page has been fully loaded. Something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
// add loader
});
$(window).load(function() {
// remove loader
});
Do you mean loading a group of images (like a gallery?). If so, then you could do this with jQuery. Have you checked out the Image Loader plugin? It looks like it would do what you want:
http://www.staticvoid.info/imageLoader/
It would be trivial to put a div over the top of this before you run it and then remove it in the complete() callback.
You may also want to check out this SO topic that also talks about a plugin (which is going to be your best option, IMO): JQuery wait for page to finish loading before starting the slideshow?
This is my preloader. Show preloader first, and when the whole page is loaded, hide preloader and show content. Try this, it's very simple and easy to change. This is link to my blog post with demo and code (~1 Kb):
Preload web site using jquery
This will preload all of the images in CSS for your website automatically:
http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/update_automatically_preload_images_from_css_with_jquery/
I don't think you should have a loading screen since this would be very annoying to your users.
Say I have the following code in my html:
<html>
<....>
<img src="the-image.gif" />
<....>
</html>
Is it possible to avoid loading the image using javascript? I want to load it later, using javascript. But I don't want it to be loaded automatically.
I am trying to delay the request of the image.
Thanks
You can use the LazyLoad jQuery Plugin.
Lazy loader is a jQuery plugin written
in JavaScript. It delays loading of
images in (long) web pages. Images
outside of viewport (visible part of
web page) wont be loaded before user
scrolls to them. This is opposite of
image preloading.
