Safari status bar no longer shows page load progress

Hi...  Though it's been this way for a while now, perhaps since the start of whatever Safari version came along with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion ??, I've finally become curious enough to ask about the following...
In times gone by, the Safari status bar at the bottom of the page would show page loading progress...  You know, the old xx out of yy items complete or something like that???  But now, nothing...  Nothing at all in the Status Bar while a page is loading...  Nor is there a spinning gear in the URL line to show you something is going on...  Instead, all there is is the blue progress bar that slowly moves left to right across the URL box to show you what is happening...  And often that blue bar stalls where it just sits for quite a while...  And when that happens I never know the details of what is going on...
Do I have something set up wrong???  Or did Apple decide we don't need to know what's going on while pages attempt to load???  I sometimes quit Safari when I have a secure page log on that appears to stall and all I have as feedback is a stalled blue progress bar... 
All I ever see light up in the status bar is the URL of a link I might hover over on a page...  Otherwise, nothing...  That doesn't seem right...  Again, am I doing something wrong in the Status Bar set up or is that all the Status Bar ever shows now????  And if the latter, why would Apple have chosen to stop letting us observe page loading progress???  At least that used to tell me something was happening..  A blue progress bar that stops moving doesn't tell me anything useful... 
Any thoughts or help on this would be much appreciated...  thanks...  bob...

That is the way Safari works as far as I know.

  • Status bar with opera style page loading statistics?

    Anyone ever seen an app or terminal code or something that allows us to see page loading stats (seconds taken, # images loaded, speed, etc) like the status bar in Opera or one you can load in FF? I would love to have this ability in Safari. I found one that gives instant feedback on W3C compliance of the loaded page, but not about page loading stats.

    I want simple and quick view of time took page to load, how many images, speed, etc...
    Load times can be found under Develop > Show Network Timeline, or by clicking on the Network icon located in the left-side column of the main Web Inspector window.
    I use it sometimes BUT it is a stand alone window...
    You might try clicking on the window-merge toggle button found in the extreme lower left corner of the Web Inspector window, directly underneath the Network icon. Good luck.

  • Safari Status Bar, no information while loading page

    This isn't new and I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere but I looked and didn't find an obvious answer.  In past versions (?) Safari's status bar at the bottom of the browser window used to show information about page loading progress while the page was attempting to load.  Items like
    x out of y items complete (or loaded or something like that)
    used to be displayed...
    Now, and for some time now, nothing...  Why???
    Now, there is nothing but the blue progress bar that moves left to right in the URL box while the page is loading...  As long as it's moving, then I can say progress is happening...  However, often the blue bar stops for quite a long time and by habit I still find myself looking down to the status bar to see what it says and it says nothing... 
    Again, this isn't new now but I'm just now getting curios enough to ask about it... 
    Am I doing something wrong or do I need to take some addtional steps to get useful information out of the status bar??? 
    What's up with the Safari Status Bar???
    thanks...

    But what about when a page is loading and the blue progress bar in the URL window stalls.  Anytime that happens I look down to the status bar and where it used to offer useful information, now it offers nothing.  What happened to that???  Is there anyway to get info on a seemingly stalled load of a page???
    thanks...  bob...

  • Safari status bar disappears.  I have tried clicking on show status bar and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen.  I can not minimize the open page only full screen or close the browser.  Any idea how the rectify this

    Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar, under the View tab and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page, only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this issue?

    One enters and exits full-screen with control+command+F keys. This is on the View menu in Safari. Optionally, the green traffic light in your browser title bar, if you roll over it, has the full-screen control it it. While in full-screen mode with Safari, moving your mouse pointer virtually up, and off-screen reveals the Safari title bar again, and you can click the green traffic light to exit full-screen mode.
    You can hide/show the status bar by simply typing command+/. This too, is on the Safari View menu. and in 10.10.1 — it works reliably for me.

  • Show Progress Bar while only on Page Load.

    Hi Experts,
    I want to show progress bar every time when page loads.
    Progress bar is coming on the page. but it is not going off after page is loaded.
    Below is the code which i added for the Progress bar.
    //written on Header Text of Page
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    function html_Submit_Progress(pThis){
    $x_Show('AjaxLoading');

    Hide the loader element when the page has loaded. Put this in the javascript section
    $(document).ready(function(){ $x_Hide('AjaxLoading'); });Or put it in the page load section
    $x_Hide('AjaxLoading');Or create a dynamic action which fires on page load, select a hide action, and use a jQuery selector to target '#AjaxLoading' as an affected element.

  • After upgrading my URL bar no longer shows the protocal.

    After upgrading to Firefox 7.0 my URL bar no longer shows me what protocol is being used when using port 80 http. How do I turn this feature back on?

    The protocol (http://) has been removed from the URL in the location bar <u>for http:// pages only</u>. '''https:// pages will still have the protocol'''. This may be confusing to some users. There's also a known bug where if you copy the URL after selecting it from the awesome bar dropdown (but before loading the page) it won't include the http:// part.
    Users can revert to the old behavior by setting browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false in about:config
    #type '''''about:config''''' in the Location/URL/Address bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs'''
    #double-click on the pref in the lower panel to toggle it to "false" '''''OR''''' right-click on the pref in the lower panel and choose "Toggle" to toggle it to "false"
    #close the about:config tab

  • What happened to the Safari status bar?

    Before Lion Safari used to have a nice little piece of functionality in the Status Bar. Before I ask, let me explain what *didn't* change. Still functioning in the status bar is notification that the link you're hovering over wil open up in a new tab (or window based on your settings). See the image here
    http://d.pr/oPty to see what I am talking about.
    What *is not* happening anymore is this notification when you would like to open a link in a new tab (that otherwise would not) by holding down the command key. For example, you are on yahoo.com hovering over a link to an article. If you leave your mouse pointer over that link and then hold the command key down, the "in a new tab" note at the end of the URL in the status bar doesn't show up. This also worked for holding down the option key (download) and holding shift+command (in a new tab behind the current one).
    I hope I am explaining this correctly, let me know if not.

  • How do I move the page-load progress meter from the bottom task bar to the top menu bar, or inside the top/header toolbar? I am currently using Firefox Version 3.6.19

    How do I move the page-load progress meter from the bottom task bar to the top menu bar, or inside the top/header toolbar? I am currently using Firefox Version 3.6.19.
    URL Eaddress: [email protected]

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar to get the new appearance.<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    You can place the Tab Bar on top.
    * View > Toolbars : [ ] Menu Bar
    * View > Toolbars : [X] Tabs on Top
    The Tab bar only appears on the title bar if the Firefox window is maximized.

  • Safari takes a really long time to load pages...

    Hi everyone; hope all is well.
    I have a rather annoying issue with Safari and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out. I noticed a couple of days ago that Safari often takes a very long time to load pages. I have to continually stop downloading the page and then reload it for it to go the next one. When I do this it often loads the page right away. I'm not sure what this might be all about - Safari usually loads pages very quickly. I've tried emptying caches and resetting Safari, etc. but the problem persists. Can anyone help me out?

    Try this:
    Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
    form values
    download.plist
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Repair permissions.
    Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
    If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:

  • Question about safari status bar

    Hi All,
    I have a web application , mainpage contained an iframe . the Page in iframe will set data to status bar . And mainpage will scan status bar by a timer to get the update info . All the flow was controlled by JavaScript .
    It works fine with IE , but for Safari , i saw the status bar was updated and the data is correct , but window.status alway be empty .
    Did anyone know how to get the data ? if Safari can show the correct data in status bar , it should mean the browser contains the data , right?

    BTW , the version number of my Safari is 5.0.1

  • SAFARI "Status Bar" Behavior Problem

    I have set up my web page to show people's names in the "Status Bar" when the cursor is placed over their face in a picture. It works fine in most browsers, including Firefox, but works poorly in SAFARI. I SAFARI, it shows for a part of a second and then disappears. In Firefox and other browsers, it shows in the status bar continuously until the cousor is moved off the person's face. That is what I want to happen in SAFARI. Is there some way to tell SAFARI to show the name continuously in the Status Bar, rather than just flash it?

  • Display page load progress bar...

    I have a page which takes about 50-60 secs to load and I want to display some kind of progress bar indicating to the user that the page is loading. This page is a pop up page with a report returning a lot of data. I searched the forum and most of the progress bar examples are related to a button click event. However I want the progress bar to display before the entire page has been loaded.
    I really need to get this done fast and any kind of help or suggestion will be really appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Carl,
    I have a similar issue to the one 'user549354' listed.
    The application in this case is single page application with a couple of report regions, one of which takes about a minute for the query to return the result.
    The example listed below by you, and another one I have found by Vikas, both fire a javascript-redirect off a button... The related forum posts are:
    Long running process/query
    Re: Long running process/query
    but if you want the processing page off the initial url, this is not possible.
    Yes, you could workaround it by showing a button on the initial page which the user has to press to see the processing page ... but that is not an ideal solution.
    I am not very familiar with javascript, and have tried the following alternatives unsuccessfully
    1) Using a url to a different (intermediate) page (say page # 2) which has a display as text item that renders the animated gif image, with following source
    Please wait...
    <img src="/i/processing3.gif" />
    in combination with different types of processes (on load/after regions/after footer) which redirect to my original page (say page #1) by doing the following
    begin
    htp.init;
    owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:1:::');
    end;
    This does not show the intermediate page at all, just waits until the actual page loads.
    2) use the display as text item mentioned above, and in the region source (html region) using the following:
    <META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="2;URL=f?p=&APP_ID.:1">
    The problem here is that the animated gif becomes de-animated after the the number of seconds set in the code, in the above case 2 seconds.
    3) using the page header and footer javascript mentioned in the links off your post, and trying to fire it from a url type region using the following codce
    javascript:html_Submit_Progress(this);
    This fails with error – object does not exist – presumably because this needs to be fired off an item – wonder if it will work off a link.
    4) Various other permutations and combinations of the above…
    You have mentioned in your last post on this thread that an intermediate page could be called, that will fire the progress bar, and then redirect to the slow loading page.
    This is seems to exactly what I am after – with the url of the intermediate page being the initial url with which to access the application.
    The problem is that I do not know
    a)     where or how to fire the relevant javascript [javascript:html_Submit_Progress(this);] from, besides a button press, and also
    b)     how to (then and only then) re-direct to the slow loading page, so as to ensure that the animated gif is displayed… using any of pre-submit process (on load… after footer) prevents the page and the animated gif from rendering.
    I am sure that this is very much possible… any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Alex.
