Hi monks,

I've been doing some work with CGI::AJAX, and I stumbled upon a tutorial about AJAX loading screens using the javascript code below: 

<script type="text/javascript">
function init () {
    $('submit').onclick = function () {
        sendData();
    }
}
function sendData () {
    var url = 'process.php';
    var pars = Form.serialize('frm');
    var myAjax = new Ajax.Request( url, {method: 'get', parameters: pa
+rs, onLoading: showLoad, onComplete: showResponse} );
}
function showLoad () {
    $('load').style.display = 'block';
}
function showResponse (originalRequest) {
    var newData = originalRequest.responseText;
    $('load').style.display = 'none';
    $('status').innerHTML = newData;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init()">
<div id="load" style="display:none">loading...</div>
<div id="status"></div>

This is easily attained using traditional AJAX, however I've not been able to figure out how I might do this using pure CGI::AJAX.

Any thoughts?

meh.
