Welcome Loading … Page with Jquery

Question

How can I implement a welcome screen for 5 seconds giving information like Loading application ... + some application infos...while the main page loads in background.

Answer 1

You would show your welcome message as the page loads (theoretically as an absolutely positioned overlay). You could then use jQuery to kick off a timer:

$(document).ready(function(){
    setTimeout(function(){
        $('div#overlay').fadeOut();
    }, 5000);
});
