theres no "show this till load" css
For a long time I would have agreed, I haven't done it myself so I'm not sure. But many things have suprised me, I've seen drop down menus and OnHover sort of stuff done using only css, which I never thought possible.
BTW, The page in question relies on a plugin [I believe ActiveX] calling dd.elements.loading.hide(). [JS]
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
