[jQuery] loading message shows up after page has loaded

[sdtacoma]

Hello,

I am using jQuery and BlockUI to display a "Loading..." message to the
user while the page is loading.

The problem is that the "Loading..." message seems to show up AFTER
the page has loaded, not during load. Shouldn't the document.ready
fire sooner than that?

What am I doing wrong?


<script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
                        $.blockUI();
                        setTimeout($.unblockUI, 2000);
        });
</script>
