Scenario:
You want to show a brief status message to the user. The notification will slide in and the out to the right side of the window.
SP.UI.Notify.addNotification('<img src="/_layouts/images/loadingcirclests16.gif" style="vertical-align: top;"/>Loading ...', false);
If you want your notification to stay on the screen until the process finishes you can use a couple of functions like:
function AddNotification() {
notifyId = SP.UI.Notify.addNotification("Loading ...", true);
}
function RemoveNotification() {
SP.UI.Notify.removeNotification(notifyId);
notifyId = '';
}
Notes:
The second parameter (set to true above) sets the stickiness of the note.
The notifyId variable, set when creating the notification, is used again when hiding it.
