I have a page that can potentially do a long insert query that takes upwards of 30 seconds to 1 minute. I would like to display an animation on the page while this is happening to let people know it's processing. What is the best way to do this with CF 2018?

  • What's best depends on your situation. What does the user see once the page has finished processing? – Dan Bracuk Sep 09 '21 at 03:47
  • They are redirected to a table that shows the results. They are uploading a csv file with sometimes thousands of entries and I am processing that and creating entries in a DB table. Once they select the file and hit submit I wanted to display an animation while it is processing. Once finished redirect them to the index page. – spacerobot Sep 09 '21 at 04:12
  • In old CFML server we used cfprogressbar tag to achieve this. But now a days most of the UI tags are deprecated in Coldfusion. As you tagged your requirement is belongs to cf2018 so most of the UI tag not supported. So I suggest to by below links. It's will met your requirements. https://static.raymondcamden.com/cfuitherightway/cfprogressbar/index.html – Kannan.P Sep 09 '21 at 13:26
  • Either `` or `` might be appropriate for your situation. Something else that might be an option is to email the results instead of making the user wait. This would involve ``. – Dan Bracuk Sep 09 '21 at 15:01
  • I found the best solution that works for me is by using a combination of css and Javascript to handle this. I haven't used this specific solution [here](https://idiallo.com/blog/loading-bar-for-page-load) but I've done something similar. – user12031119 Sep 09 '21 at 17:00
  • Thanks for the suggestions! I am going to play around with this shortly and see what I can come up with. – spacerobot Sep 10 '21 at 15:53
