Hi,

I'd like to display a spinner during some requests. No problem to make
an animated gif and load it into a TImage component.

When the requests are executed, the animation is interrupted though.

Any idea how to avoid that?

Thanks Uli

Which browser? I did that and it worked fine. IIRC I posted a web page that
generates an animated spinner GIF according to specifications.

Chrome and IE8.

You mean this one:?

http://www.ajaxload.info/

If so, yes. I created the spinner there.

Uli,

With Webworkers you can have paralell processing. The logic is the same as with desktop apps: better keep the time consuming stuff out of the main thread.

I meant parallel.

Thanks, but if there isn't a simpler solution, I'll do it without an
animated spinner.

Yes - I didn't notice any issues with my spinner and making https requests. Maybe I
just didn't notice it though.
