Inside the JS function we just have to hide the excising div and show the div which contains animated loading gif. I have done it and it works fine on every other browser except IE.

I’m posting this for me to get when it is needed. J Here is the Code. < script type ="text/javascript" > < !-- function validateDate(source, clientside_arguments) {

How to write good content is the problem I face.

You can easily find some good themes by just searching on Google. More
