Hello Experts,

I have three drop downs and its something like cascading drop downs.
ddl1 is selected and based on that ddl2 will bind and if ddl2 is selected ddl3 will bind. But binding is taking time because of huge data. Is there a way to show that my drop down in loading. Not Jquery dialog. I want to show Loading... in ddl2 till it gets bound and similarly ddl3 also

Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?

Depends on what control you're using for the drop down. Also, you could always do an overlay on the whole screen using a nice jquery plugin.

If you are loading huge amounts of data into a dropdown then your users will find it difficult to use - see advice on dropdowns[^]

Yeah its not that huge but it is taking time. So I want to show ddl2 as loading till it gets bound. Can you tell me how?

Hi,

Can you take a look at bootstrap.js. you can achieve it using bootstrap.js or Jquery Animation. bootstrap has specific controls which are made for this purpose.
