## Demo

## Usage

To add a Youtube-like loading bar to your website, simply include the latest jQuery library found [here](http://jquery.com/download/) together with `jquery.loadingbar.js` and `loadingbar.css` into your document's `` and simply call the function as shown below:

  

````javascript

$(".ajax-call").loadingbar({

  replaceURL: false, /* You can visibly change the URL of the browser to reflect the clicked links by toggling this to true. Default is false. May not work in old browsers. */

	target: "#loadingbar-frame", /* The container's selector where you want the ajax result to appear. Default is #loadingbar-frame */

	direction: "right", /* The direction where the the loading bar will progress. Default is right. */

	

	/* Default Ajax Parameters.  */

	async: true, 

	complete: function(xhr, text) {},

	cache: true,

	error: function(xhr, text, e) {},

	global: true,

	headers: {},

	statusCode: {},

	success: function(data, text, xhr) {},

	dataType: "html",

	done: function(data) {}

});

````

Note: For options listed under Default Ajax Parameters, simply refer to [jQuery.ajax doc](http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/) for more info. 

For HTML markups, all you need is a link and a container to show the result:

  

````html

..



````

Make sure you change the "YOUR-URL" into the URL you want the script to load. 


## Further Customization

Sometime you may want each links to have its own ajax command, for example one for `POST` and another for `GET`. With this script you can do this by simply following markup rules as shown in the example below:

````html

Click Me

````

This example shows how I was able to call the Dribbble's API with a data markup. Simply assign `data-target` with a selector to define the target container, `data-type` to define the type of ajax call you want and `data-datatype` to define the type you want to receive. 

Now, each individual links will perform using its own settings.
