How can I create a “Please Wait, Loading…” animation using jQuery?

Question

I would like to place a \"please wait, loading\" spinning circle animation on my site. How should I accomplish this using jQuery?

Answer 1

I use CSS3 for animation

/************ CSS3 *************/
.icon-spin {
  font-size: 1.5em;
  display: inline-block;
  animation: spin1 2s infinite linear;
}

@keyframes spin1{
    0%{transform:rotate(0deg)}
    100%{transform:rotate(359deg)}
}

/************** CSS3 cross-platform ******************/

.icon-spin-cross-platform {
  font-size: 1.5em;
  display: inline-block;
  -moz-animation: spin 2s infinite linear;
  -o-animation: spin 2s infinite linear;
  -webkit-animation: spin 2s infinite linear;
  animation: spin2 2s infinite linear;
}

@keyframes spin2{
    0%{transform:rotate(0deg)}
    100%{transform:rotate(359deg)}
}
@-moz-keyframes spin2{
    0%{-moz-transform:rotate(0deg)}
    100%{-moz-transform:rotate(359deg)}
}
@-webkit-keyframes spin2{
    0%{-webkit-transform:rotate(0deg)}
    100%{-webkit-transform:rotate(359deg)}
}
@-o-keyframes spin2{
    0%{-o-transform:rotate(0deg)}
    100%{-o-transform:rotate(359deg)}
}
@-ms-keyframes spin2{
    0%{-ms-transform:rotate(0deg)}
    100%{-ms-transform:rotate(359deg)}
}

  

    Default CSS3
    
  
  

    Cross-Platform CSS3
