How jQuery spinner for ASP.NET postback (not Ajax)?

Question

Using VS 2010 here. Basically some of my linkbuttons kick off a long database query, how can I automagically display a spinner when the page is waiting for a postback? Mind you, this isn't an ajax postback, but a normal postback after clicking a server linkbutton.

Thanks

Why dont you use update panel?

using update panel you can easily set the loading image until your call comes back.

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress11" runat="server" DisplayAfter="0" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="UpdatePanel1">
            <ProgressTemplate>
               <asp:Image ID="Image11" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/etls/preloader.gif" />
            </ProgressTemplate>
        </asp:UpdateProgress>
        <table border="0">
            <tr>
                <td>
                   Your content here, with the button.
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

I avoid the AjaxControlToolkit at all costs. – bulltorious Oct 26 '10 at 14:57
this is not AjaxControlToolkit, this is the control of ASP.Net. – Zain Shaikh Oct 26 '10 at 17:52
