javascript - How to periodically poll for data, but stop the Firefox page loading indication? -


I have to choose the server for every new 10 seconds from time to time on my web page. I have a timer (setTimeout) setup to call my AJAX function to get the data. When I finish, the AJAX function sets the timer for 10 seconds.

The problem is that Firefox consistently displays "page loading indicator" (throbbing).

How do I vote from time to time for new data, but stop throbbing?

PS If I suppress the ESC key, the beats stop and the timer moves forward, so it is a crude solution. There is no need to include / confuse a user to me.

XHR Eval and XHR injection are the only techniques you want for FF (and all other browsers). You can see the exam / example site here:
