Pure CSS Animated Progress Bar

• pmjordan 19y ago
  Pure CSS... and an animated GIF. Progress bars that aren't actually tied to an underlying progressing quantity annoy me. Why not just use some spinning activity indicator instead of lying to the user? Or trying a little harder to quantify the processing going on? Or maybe even optimise/background the processing so it's fast enough not to need a progress indicator.

    yeah when they aren't connected to actual load progress it sucks. The concept still works (hold the users attention just a tad longer...) but I think if its just a looping character it should be a spinning wheel etc.. then the user knows to expect to wait but isn't anticipating and amount of wait time.

  Reminds me of the "CSS rounded corner" scripts that replace 1 simple image with 721 lines of CSS. Some people actually need to make a living building websites ...I'll pass.
