jQuery Canvas Loader Plugin

 Hi everyone,

I want to tell you about a new jQuery plugin I just released yesterday. It's called Canvas Loader and it provides a canvas replacement to the  standard Ajax Loading images we're all used to seeing around the web. This is helpful for the mobile space because Android for example does not support animated gifs, but it does support the canvas tag. It's also neat because by default it's transparent and is easily customizable. The actual un-minified size is likely bigger than the a small loader image, but not by much and if included with the main javascript of the site it should actually download faster.


While the plug-in takes a lot of options. The main functionality can be triggered by calling this simple method. It tires to match the width and height of an existing image.  Currently, you must have an actual image that is being replaced!

$("img.ajaxLoader").canvasLoader();


Check it out for an example and the code:
