Provides trivially easy way to notify users that a request is being loaded and processed in the background, so that they know their action was received and the page has not frozen. Just toggle the message (or image or any element) on or off with $.loading() or $(’#foo’).loading(). The plugin handles creation and positioning and “pulsing” of the message for you. It also provides a ‘mask’ option to block the UI (at the call level) while the loading message (or image or any element) is running. Think of this as a more user-friendly $.blockUI, where the blocking part is optional.
The demo is the most explanatory way to get a feel for this plugin and the options it offers “out of the box”. Look at the source for the demo to see how incredibly simple and flexible this is to use. It’s also extremely (and easily) extensible.
This is dual licensed MIT and GPL, just like jQuery itself. It’s been tested in Firefox 3.5, Opera 10, IE 7 and Chrome 2 on Windows XP. I believe it should work fine in most others as well. Please report bugs if it does not.

This script parses through linked and imported stylesheets and creates an array of all the image urls they contain. Then it loops through the array of urls and creates an image object for each one so they’ll be cached and ready for later use. Using this script means we only have to worry about specifying background images and states in our CSS files, and the script takes care of the rest!
