Overlay div block with the image while AJAX loading
When your ajax makes a request you have the 'beforeSend' option. You can either have it load your overlay div and hide it on the 'complete' option for the ajax.
$.ajax({
url: "/Home/SomeThing",
data: {name: name},
error: function () {
},
beforeSend: function () { ShowLoadingScreen(); }, // <Show OverLay
success: function (data)
$('#UnitAjaxDump').html(data);
},
type: 'GET',
complete: function () { HideLoadingScreen(); } //<Hide Overlay
In your css you need your overlay to either have an absoute position or fixed as well:
#overlay{
position: fixed;
top:50%;
left:50%;
width:500px;
height:500px;
margin-left:-250px;
margin-top:-250px;
background: somebackground;
}

I know this is easy task and very common, but I cannot figure out how to do this ! It seems five minute task, but I have spent more than an hour... I am stupid I know.
But nevertheless, please help me to implement this.
I have div container block<div class="wrapper_div"> //some other divs here </div>
And CSS style
.wrapper_div{ margin: auto; width: 1000px; height: 545px; }
Looks very simple, but I cannot overlay this div when making AJAX request.
I need to simply show loader animation (gif) at the center of this div block and overlay this block with grey background for instance.
That's all what I want, please help. Thank youEDIT
Sorry for such explanation, the problem is not in AJAX but in css and html layout, I cannot figure out how to create correct layout
