Answer 1

$(".loading").css("display", "block");

Then, to hide it after the data loads, you can use:

$(".loading").css("display", "none");

Answer 2

A better way would be using the following code.

$("#lui_gridName,#load_gridName").show();

"gridName" is the name of the grid.

OR just $("#load_gridName").show(); which wouldn't grey out the window until the grid loads. – Harriette
