How to create a splash screen
Question
OutSystems Widgets
Hi guys again, i was wondering on how to create a splash screen because my app is calling a third party web service and i want to notify the users that the page is still loading, i want to add an animated gif instead of using richwidget/feedback_ajaxwait. Can you give me guys an idea on how to do it? Thanks in advance!:)

So I'm able to show my splash screen now, the only problem is that it does not show up in safari, any ideas why?

Hi there, for your original problem: I just create a webpage with the splash screen and a hidden button, and then use the RunJavascript block (from jQueryUtilities) to click the button. The button could be an action to load your page and update it with Ajax Refresh, or just redirect to another page that would call your webservice on the preparation.

Best regards,
Pedro Vieira
