Implement a loading indicator for a jQuery AJAX call

Question

I have a Bootstrap modal which is launched from a link. For about 3 seconds it just sits there blank, while the AJAX query fetches the data from the database. How can I impl

Answer 1

A loading indicator is simply an animated image (.gif) that is displayed until the completed event is called on the AJAX request. http://ajaxload.info/ offers many options for generating loading images that you can overlay on your modals. To my knowledge, Bootstrap does not provide the functionality built-in.
