-----------------------------------------

Hi.

To avoid this side effect we could use css class 'wicket-ajax-indicator' 
associated with AJAX indicator's span. Setting property 'position' to 
'absolute' takes indicator out of the normal flow of the document, avoiding any 
layout problem.

>             Project: Wicket
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: wicket
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.9
>            Reporter: Pierre Wargnier
>            Priority: Minor

> The current IndicatingAjaxButton has a indicator that is set visible when 
> AJAX is running. This usually breaks the HTML. A solution given by other 
> frameworks like RichFaces is to have a "blank image" of the same size that is 
> visible when AJAX is not running. This function can be optional because it 
> adds mode HTML.
> I managed to implement this (but the original Wicket AJAX author will find 
> cleaner ways to do it):
> 1) I overloaded AjaxIndicatorAppender.onRendered to add another <span> with 
> the blank image. The ID is the same as the indicator + "blank".
> 2) I created interface IAjaxIndicatorAware2 extending IAjaxIndicatorAware and 
> I made a IndicatingAjaxButton implementing this interface.
> 3) I modified AjaxButton.generateCallbackScript like this:
> On line 157:
> boolean blankIndicator = getComponent() instanceof IAjaxIndicatorAware2; //to 
> test if the component has a placeholder
> One line 169:
> if(blankIndicator){
>       hide += "wicketShow('" + indicatorId + 
> IAjaxIndicatorAware2.BLANK_SUFFIX + "');";
> }
> On line 213:
> StringBuilder sb = new 
> StringBuilder("wicketShow('").append(indicatorId).append("');");
> if(blankIndicator){
>       
> sb.append("wicketHide('").append(indicatorId).append(IAjaxIndicatorAware2.BLANK_SUFFIX).append("');");
> }     
> sb.append(call);
