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.

Although I agree with @TheTXI, the best way to do it is to have the "loading..." screen visible by default using CSS, and then hide it once everything is loaded using jQuery (instead of waiting for a fixed amount of time).

See jQuery.load()... ex:

  $(document).ready(function(){
    $("body img:last").load($("#welcome-screen").fadeOut());
  });
