Preloader/Progress message

Preloader/Progress message

Hi everyone,

I'm loading a static HTML document using the load function:

//load the specific content
               $("#content-l").empty();
               $("#content-l").hide();
               $("#content-l").load("./index.html #content-l:first", function(){
                  $("#content-l").show();
               });


What I am trying to do is display an image in the div's container until the HTML page is loaded completely. Is there a way to do this using the load function()?

Thank you-
