If you're looking for some AJAX loading animations then use this AJAX Loading GIF Generator to create your own style. It has different animations to choose from, and color settings (foreground and background) to pick.
So you graphically challenged Web 2.0 geeks can have some cool personalised loading animations whilst you're loading content.
Some examples:-
What is TinyMCE?
TinyMCE is a platform independent web based Javascript HTML WYSIWYG editor control released as Open Source under LGPL by Moxiecode Systems AB. It has the ability to convert HTML TEXTAREA fields or other HTML elements to editor instances. TinyMCE is very easy to integrate into other Content Management Systems. Please visit their website for more details.

tinyMCE.init({ //settings go here });
Starting TinyMCE
tinyMCE.triggerSave(false,true);
tiny_mce_editor = tinyMCE.get('your_textarea_name');
var newData = tiny_mce_editor.getContent();
tinyMCE.execCommand( 'mceRemoveControl', false, 'your_textarea_name' );
Getting the Textarea Text and Closing TinyMCE
The new data that the user would enter into TinyMCE is now stored in the variable newData.
You need to specify a trigger save like this for 2 reasons:-
* You can't simply get content from your textarea once TinyMCE has taken over it, as the text in the textarea isn't actually stored in that field name you know.
* You need to remove the control properly so that TinyMCE doesn't make another instance of the same textarea, or otherwise you will run into issues.
I'm making this a quote for others to remember and hopefully get it stuck into those who make user interfaces:
as soon as you need instructions, you fail

I told this over and over to my multimedia students at WideBay TAFE all last year, and I believe it stuck into some peoples minds. Yes it is cool to show a different interface that is really different to others out there, but you're making a big risk in doing so.
The above image shows an interface that's pretty simple (and it still required instructions), but imagine if this was a full shopping cart system with 100's of products.
Some flash sites out there can be the most confusing, especially when they don't follow good design practices. Plain and simple, if you stick to the normal user interface principles, your users can enjoy the service and your users will be able to get the information they want from your site.
The worst thing you can do for your viewers is confuse them about how to use the site, they won't pursue to figure out how to use it, they will simply walk away.
