jQuery Plugin for Spin.js
/*
You can now create a spinner using any of the variants below:
$("#el").spin(); // Produces default Spinner using the text color of #el.
$("#el").spin("small"); // Produces a 'small' Spinner using the text color of #el.
$("#el").spin("large", "white"); // Produces a 'large' Spinner in white (or any valid CSS color).
$("#el").spin({ ... }); // Produces a Spinner using your custom settings.
$("#el").spin(false); // Kills the spinner.
*/

How i use spin.js

1- div id="customSpinner" class="customSpinnercss" /div - [removing < ]

2- $('#customSpinner').spin();
3- .customSpinnercss {

color: black;
width: 150%;
height:1000px;
position: fixed;
left: auto;
top:auto;
bottom: auto;
right: auto;
z-index: 2147483646;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 3px #8a8a8a;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 3px #8a8a8a;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 3px #8a8a8a;
background: transparent;
margin-left: -280px;
}
4- $('#customSpinner').data('spinner').stop();
Everything works fine. But after calling stop, do i need to alter z-index ? Because due to overlay div i cannot modify the content below that div. What i did is $(''#customSpinner').css('z-index','-1') after calling stop.

Any comments for this approach ?

I'd love to see this bundled into the spin.js project. :)

Thank you umairsaleemid. Your example worked perfectly.

Love this. I usually copy and paste the contents of spin.min.js into this file before using it, and remove the error handling for the Spinner object not being available.
