jQuery

This is probably a simple question.  Is there a jQuery Plugin that will display a simple graphic while a page is busy loading?

Hi,
here we go:

Or the jQuery UI component offer the ProgressBar addon:

@Ranier, I was more interested in an progress bar that appears during the white screen between pages loading.

@rainer
Do you think there is a way to run this as the page un- loads?
Hi,
sure - but does this really make sense?
Page unload normally means that the browser window / tab is closed or the user navigate further.

$(window).unload(function() {
	$(".loader").show().fadeOut("slow");
})

Open in new window

@rainer.  On my page there is an "Update" button that causes the page to re-fresh.  There is a lot of content and JS that the page must go through before it does.  During which is a White Screen.  I'm trying to "soften" this experience.
