AJAX websitse like PageFlakes have a smooth display while loading and refreshing the view (basically a small animation that takes the place of a page that would looks ugly while being loaded). I would like to know how this behavior could be achieved with Atlas?

Thanks in advance,

hello.

if i'm not mistaken, they use atlas in their site... i'm not sure on what you mean by smooth though...

Sorry for the confusion, I was simply refering to the animation that takes place when a part of the page is making a post-back.

Atlas has a control called UpdateProgress.  Whatever you place inside that tag will show up while the page is being refreshed.  I place an animated progress bar that shows up any time Atlas is refreshing the page.  Is this what you are talking about?

<atlas:UpdateProgress runat="server" ID="atlProgress" EnableViewState="false">
        <ProgressTemplate>
                      <asp:Image    ID="imgProgress" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/status_anim.gif" ImageAlign="Left" />          </ProgressTemplate>                        
 </atlas:UpdateProgress>

 

you mean something like this ?
using the fadein proprety?

Exactly, a small animation displayed during the (partial) page load.

Thanks for the links,
