    <p>I am working on some improvements for a shopping cart (Gambio GX2 shop software). When the customer updates the quantity of the products, he should see a loading gif while the cart is updated. This is done by applying the class <code>.modal</code> (see CSS) to the body (using JQuery's <code>.addClass</code>). After that, some ajax calls are executed and in the end the cart is submitted and the page is reloaded.</p> <p>This works perfectly in Firefox, but it has issues in other Browsers. In Chrome, all the Ajax calls are executed first, and only then the gif loading animation is visible (while the page reloads). In Safari, the gif animation doesn't shop up at all.</p> <p>If I set a break point in the debugger, then I can see the gif animation immediately (step by step execution), but as soon as I let it run its normal course, it seems that the order is not correct.</p> <p><strong>So in short: How can I make sure that the visual changes are applied before the ajax calls are exectuted?</strong></p> <p>I have the following function (simplified for example's sake)</p> <p><strong>JS</strong></p> <pre><code>$('.button_cart_refresh').live('click', function (event) { $("body").addClass("loading"); // Show "loading" gif var coo_quantity_checker = new GMOrderQuantityChecker(); var t_result = coo_quantity_checker.check_cart(); // Trigger Ajax calls if (t_result == true) { $('#cart_quantity').trigger("submit", [true]); } else { $("body").removeClass("loading"); } return false; }); </code></pre> <p><strong>CSS</strong> (see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/1964871/1131823">https://stackoverflow.com/a/1964871/1131823</a>)</p> <pre><code>.modal { display: none; position: fixed; z-index: 1000; top: 0; left: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; background: rgba( 255, 255, 255, .4 ) url('img/ajax-sheep-loader.gif') 50% 50% no-repeat; } body.loading .modal { display: block; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
