Ajax Loading Animated gif
I’ve been working with Ajax recently, I’ve been particularly impressed with how potentially powerful Ajax is. Having a good knowledge of PHP and HTML myself has helped when it came to learning this amalgamation of technologies. If you’re not aware what Ajax is, It stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML (eXtensible Markup Language).
A good introduction to it can be found on Harry Maugans in tutorial AJAX Made Easy, in addition to that the SAMS Teach Yourself in 10 Minutes have got a great little book on Ajax which explains it all really well from beginner to intermediate.
Back to the point in hand, I wanted an animated gif to display while I was collecting data from the server. That is precisely what I got when I came upon the Ajax Loading gif Generator. You can customise the gifs produced from the type of animation to the fore and background colours - A great little tool!
