Spinline jQuery plugin

Use Youtube-style ajax loading spinner.

It looks as a line that automatically increases but never reaches the end.

So you can start it on ajax request and finish when request finished.

The main difference from already existing this type of plugins is that it can be positioned not only on the top of the block or page but also at the bottom.

It doesn't cover any of your elements. Very easy to use and looks cool.

NPM

npm install spinline

bower install spinline

Manually

Just download the package and attach spinline.jquery.js script to your page.

<script src="spinline.jquery.js"></script>
