Description

I am currently making a website to load data from AJAX call and then insert it to Shadowbox. Everything goes well, but the loading screen seems to be hidden after a fixed period of time. I hope that there can be a function to delay the loader until the request is complete. As soon as the data is finished loading, I can invoke this function to display it in the lightbox.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Begin by reviewing the loader timeout and the AJAX-to-lightbox flow; done means the loader remains visible until the request completes and the loaded data can then be displayed.
