Delayed show BlockUI plugin

Delayed show BlockUI plugin

Hello All,

I use the blockUI plugin to block elements whilst performing an ajax request or loading images. The problem I have is minor but when loading an image that has been cached it still fires the block/unblock event - creating a flash as the visual block is displayed briefly.

Is it possible to delay the firing of the block element show (block) event by a few milliseconds. i.e. only fire block element event if request is taking longer than 2 seconds.

I have played around using .delay but seems to have no impact on the blockUI plugin.

Many thanks, sj
