Feature Request - Loading Overlay

[blowsie]

I think it would be nice if $.mobile.loading had an option to have a overlayTheme, much like the popup or dialog.

This could be used to prevent the user from clicking on buttons and such whilst you are loading content.

I'm assigning this to the body, in order to hide requireJS showing the un-enhanced source code when the page first loads.

  body.coverup:before { 
        width: 100%; 
        position: absolute; 
        top: 0; 
        bottom: 0; 
        left: 0; 
        right: 0; 
        display: block; 
        height: 100%; 
        z-index: 999999; 
        background-color: white 
        /*background:white  url( your_image.png ) no-repeat center center*/; content: "hello" 
        }

I like it because it's CSS only, plus you could add your own image ("processing...") and/or message. The only caveat is the opacity. Setting it will show whats underneath.
