Web 2.0 AJAX Loading Panel is a universal ajax loading message over a semi-transparent background, that makes the page modal and is supposed to work with any AJAX framework's onRequestStart and onRequestComplete functions. A client of mine asked me if it is possible to separate the function that creates the cool modal semi-transparent loading effect of my website (and many others, as well) from the XmlHTTPRequest function, so it could be used with other AJAX frameworks or for other purposes. Now, with Web 2.0 AJAX Loading Panel, this effect could be easily attached to any other script. It is easy to install and run with several lines of code and only two functions for display and hide, and its look and feel is totally customizable via the LoadingMessage/Config.xml file. Please, refer to the INSTALLATION_NOTES.txt in the distribution file for detailed overview of installing, running and handling the script and explanation of the properties of the Config.xml file.
