How to show the UpdateProgress contents at the center of monitor by using only CSS

[Max2006]

Hi,

I have the following code to show the UpdateProgress contents at the center
of page:

<asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress1" runat="server"
AssociatedUpdatePanelID="UpdatePanel1"
DisplayAfter="0">
<ProgressTemplate>
<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; z-index:1; left: 50%;
top: 50%;">
<img alt = "Loading..." src ="../images/loader.gif" />
</div>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>


The problem is with long pages, so it shows the progress at the center of
the page, user have to scroll to the middle of the page to see the progress.
Is there any way to show the progress at the center of monitor (or browser)
as opposed to the center of page?

The CSS only solution would be preferable.

Any help would be appreciated,
Max

You'll have to go with a javascript solution if you want the exact
center of a browser window, as CSS can't interact with the browser to
determine how wide or long it is.

Hi Max,

I agree with Mark here that you will have to use JavaScript to keep the
progress div stay at the center of the screen.

Here're some related discussions on this issue:
