Very easy javascript code to display page "Please wait" using bootstrap modal with nice progress bar.

pleaseWait.js

/**
 * Displays overlay with "Please wait" text. Based on bootstrap modal. Contains animated progress bar.
 */
function showPleaseWait() {    
    if (document.querySelector("#pleaseWaitDialog") == null) {
        var modalLoading = '<div class="modal" id="pleaseWaitDialog" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false" role="dialog">\
            <div class="modal-dialog">\
                <div class="modal-content">\
                    <div class="modal-header">\
                        <h4 class="modal-title">Please wait...</h4>\
                    </div>\
                    <div class="modal-body">\
                        <div class="progress">\
                          <div class="progress-bar progress-bar-success progress-bar-striped active" role="progressbar"\
                          aria-valuenow="100" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width:100%; height: 40px">\
                          </div>\
                        </div>\
                    </div>\
                </div>\
            </div>\
        </div>';
        $(document.body).append(modalLoading);
    }
  
    $("#pleaseWaitDialog").modal("show");
}

/**
 * Hides "Please wait" overlay. See function showPleaseWait().
 */
function hidePleaseWait() {
    $("#pleaseWaitDialog").modal("hide");
}

you have an error here at line 5
var modalLoading = '<div class="modal" id="pleaseWaitDialog" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false role="dialog">\
should be
var modalLoading = '<div class="modal" id="pleaseWaitDialog" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false" role="dialog">\

thanks! this is cool

Thank you mate, it's very helpfull and was easy to integrate into my project

The showPleaseWait function adds a new modal element each time it is called. Add a condition so that it creates one modal element and reuse it each time.
E.g.

/**
 * Displays overlay with "Please wait" text. Based on bootstrap modal. Contains animated progress bar.
 */
function showPleaseWait() {
    
    if (document.querySelector("#pleaseWaitDialog") == null) {
        var modalLoading = '<div class="modal" id="pleaseWaitDialog" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false" role="dialog">\
            <div class="modal-dialog">\
                <div class="modal-content">\
                    <div class="modal-header">\
                        <h4 class="modal-title">Please wait...</h4>\
                    </div>\
                    <div class="modal-body">\
                        <div class="progress">\
                          <div class="progress-bar progress-bar-success progress-bar-striped active" role="progressbar"\
                          aria-valuenow="100" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width:100%; height: 40px">\
                          </div>\
                        </div>\
                    </div>\
                </div>\
            </div>\
        </div>';
        $(document.body).append(modalLoading);
    }
  
    $("#pleaseWaitDialog").modal("show");
}

/**
 * Hides "Please wait" overlay. See function showPleaseWait().
 */
function hidePleaseWait() {
    $("#pleaseWaitDialog").modal("hide");
}

thanks my friend

+1 for simplicity...

+1, this is great

Can you include style used? that would save me a lot of time trying to tweak the style to get something that looks acceptable..

@buminda
Instead of writing CSS for modal center, you can use modal-dialog-centered class near modal-dialog class

thank you soo much
