I\'m using the \"Angularised\" version of the Spin control, as documented here: http://blog.xvitcoder.com/adding-a-weel-progress-indicator-to-your-angularjs-application/
This worked for me well.
angular.forEach(element.find('div'), function(node) { if(node.id == 'someid'){ //do something } if(node.className == 'someclass'){ //do something } });
