In the following example, you can open a modal, enter a message, and send it. The message will take 2 seconds to send. I have implemented a spinner to show while the message is sending, but I also want the background of the modal to be greyed-out during that time.
$("#sendBtn").click(function() {
$('.sending-message-spinner').show();
setTimeout(function () {
$("#myModal").modal("hide");
}, 2000);
});textarea {
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
}
@keyframes loading {
0% {
transform: rotate(0);
}
100% {
transform: rotate(360deg);
}
}
.sending-message-spinner {
position: fixed;
text-align: center;
z-index: 20;
display: none;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
border: 8px solid #B0B0B0;
border-radius: 50%;
border-top-color: #000;
animation: loading .75s linear infinite;
