How to hide “page loading”/“transferring data” indicators and spinners caused by loading a (hidden) iframe

Question

Is there any way to suppress the spinners and \"transferring data\" indicators that browsers show when a web page is loading?

I\'m loading a document into a hidden i

Answer 1

I eventually found a solution that will work for us. Instead of loading the document into a hidden iframe, we're using the "htmlfile" object described here: http://cometdaily.com/2007/11/18/ie-activexhtmlfile-transport-part-ii/

This solves the problem on IE platforms. And on non-IE platforms, we can use XMLHttpRequest + CORS + chunk encoding.
