I have a problem with the Loading Please Wait... gif. When I run a report into Excel the gif comes up as expected but then once the report completes the gif does not go away.

I tried changing the Loading Screen property but that just gives me back the HTML page I created.

What I would like to happen if for the GIF to fire as expected and then to go away once the report completes.

Any one have any ideas?

Thanks

When I encountered this problem in 8.0.08, there was an issue that if you didn't have your redirection settings set to save on the server first for excel outputs, the communication that the file had completed wouldn't be sent back to the webpage to stop the Loading gif. You can try changing your redirection settings to see if that helps.

The most common reason I've found, is when there is a javascript error on loading the page and the function that clears the loading message never gets called.

Waz,

I find that what you are describing only occurs at page load. FHCole is talking about when executing the report. Do you tend to have this problem with report execution as well in what you are describing?

At the end of the day, you are right. It probably comes down to a javascript error which prevents the function from completing and thus clearing the loading GIF. I guess the question is whether its an error in IBI's code or FHCole's.

Some simple debugging is needed.

Step 1: Check for js errors
Step 2: Use the Browsers Developer Tools to see what is happening in the background

Many Thanks to Eric, his thought of changing the redirect fixed the issue.

Sorry that it took so long to respond.

I have this exact issue. Where do you change the redirection settings in 8105 as mentioned by eric.woerle? I checked the "Designing a User Interface for a Web Application with HTML Composer" manual and do not see this.

Thank you,
Geri Gellman

For those of you still looking to customize the message spinner, look under WebFOCUS81\ibi_html\javaassist\composerloading.html

You can set a standard Text inside the SPAN's INNERHTML, We just removed the word "Please wait"

 <HTML>
<!-- Copyright 1996-2011 Information Builders, Inc. All rights reserved. -->
<BODY style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff;"><DIV style="text-align:center; width:100%; height:100%;">
<IMG alt="loading_wait" id="image1" src="composerloader.gif" />
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica; HEIGHT: 20px; FONT-SIZE: 14pt;FONT-WEIGHT: bold; color:#1895BF;" id="text1" ></SPAN></DIV>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
    var span1 = document.getElementById("text1");
    var image1 = document.getElementById("image1");
    if(span1 && image1)
    {
        var text = "Loading...";
        //if (parent.getTransString)
            //text = parent.getTransString(text);
        span1.innerHTML = text;
    }
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>

</HTML>
