[2.0-wip] Waiting/Hour glass

[kapso]

Perhaps add a Waiting/Hour glass functionality. Progress bar works great for really long tasks, but for not so long tasks I guess hour-glass is better.

i don't get it, can you explain it more precisely or draw it?

[kapso]

Something like this (wait cursor) - http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/images/busy/loading_anim.gif

Similar to what we see on the iPhone

[simonfranz]

So you want that to include an image or css in bt?
existing site for image spinner: http://www.ajaxload.info/
existing site for css spinner: http://davidwalsh.name/dw-content/spin-js.php

Yea making it part of BT library.

We won't be adding a spinner at this time.

[Natim]

What about a hourglass glyphicon ?

@Natim Spin.js may be what you're looking for: http://fgnass.github.com/spin.js/

If you're using jquery or zepto, you can even include the plugin at the bottom of the page and call it like this

$('.something').spin()
$('.something').spin(false) //turns it off

Although this issue is quite old, just in case people are still interested, Font Awesome 3.0 now includes a ''spinner' & icons that can be used to show progress.
