一个非常简单(蹩脚)的一行解决方案是使用window.onblur()事件关闭加载对话框。当然，如果它花了太长时间，用户决定做其他事情(如阅读电子邮件)，加载对话框将关闭。

如果您只想在显示下载对话框之前显示消息或加载器GIF图像，那么一个快速的解决方案是将消息放在一个隐藏的容器中，当您单击生成要下载的文件的按钮时，您将使容器可见。

然后使用jQuery或JavaScript捕获按钮的focusout事件，以隐藏包含消息的容器。

来自其他地方的有效解决方案:

/**
 *  download file, show modal
 *
 * @param uri link
 * @param name file name
 */
function downloadURI(uri, name) {
// <------------------------------------------       Do something (show loading)
    fetch(uri)
        .then(resp => resp.blob())
        .then(blob => {
            const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
            const a = document.createElement('a');
            a.style.display = 'none';
            a.href = url;
            // the filename you want
            a.download = name;
            document.body.appendChild(a);
            a.click();
            window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
            // <----------------------------------------  Detect here (hide loading)
            alert('File detected');
        })
        .catch(() => alert('An error sorry'));
}

你可以使用它:

downloadURI("www.linkToFile.com", "file.name");

如果您正在流式处理动态生成的文件，并且还实现了实时的服务器到客户端消息库，那么您可以非常容易地提醒客户端。

The server-to-client messaging library I like and recommend is Socket.io (via Node.js). After your server script is done generating the file that is being streamed for download your last line in that script can emit a message to Socket.io which sends a notification to the client. On the client, Socket.io listens for incoming messages emitted from the server and allows you to act on them. The benefit of using this method over others is that you are able to detect a "true" finish event after the streaming is done.

例如，您可以在单击下载链接后显示繁忙指示器，流式传输文件，向Socket发出消息。在您的流脚本的最后一行中，从服务器中输入io，在客户端侦听通知，接收通知并通过隐藏busy指示器更新您的UI。

我知道大多数读到这个问题答案的人可能没有这种类型的设置，但我已经在我自己的项目中使用了这种确切的解决方案，而且效果非常好。

套接字。IO非常容易安装和使用。查看更多信息:http://socket.io/

我在这个配置中遇到了同样的问题:

Struts 1.2.9 jQuery 1.3.2。 jQuery UI 1.7.1.custom Internet Explorer 11 Java 5

我用饼干的解决方案:

客户端:

在提交表单时，调用JavaScript函数隐藏页面并加载等待的旋转器

function loadWaitingSpinner() {
    ... hide your page and show your spinner ...
}

然后，调用一个函数，每500毫秒检查一次cookie是否来自服务器。

function checkCookie() {
    var verif = setInterval(isWaitingCookie, 500, verif);
}

如果找到cookie，停止每500毫秒检查一次，使cookie过期并调用函数返回页面并删除等待spinner (removeWaitingSpinner())。如果您希望能够再次下载另一个文件，过期cookie是很重要的!

function isWaitingCookie(verif) {
    var loadState = getCookie("waitingCookie");
    if (loadState == "done") {
        clearInterval(verif);
        document.cookie = "attenteCookie=done; expires=Tue, 31 Dec 1985 21:00:00 UTC;";
        removeWaitingSpinner();
    }
}

function getCookie(cookieName) {
    var name = cookieName + "=";
    var cookies = document.cookie
    var cs = cookies.split(';');
    for (var i = 0; i < cs.length; i++) {
        var c = cs[i];
        while(c.charAt(0) == ' ') {
            c = c.substring(1);
        }
        if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
            return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
        }
    }
    return "";
}

function removeWaitingSpinner() {
    ... come back to your page and remove your spinner ...
}

服务器端:

在服务器进程结束时，向响应添加一个cookie。当您的文件准备好下载时，cookie将被发送到客户端。

Cookie waitCookie = new Cookie("waitingCookie", "done");
response.addCookie(waitCookie);

这个Java/Spring示例检测下载的结束，在这一点上它隐藏了“Loading…”指示符。

方法:在JavaScript方面，设置一个最大过期时间为2分钟的cookie，并每秒钟轮询一次cookie过期时间。然后服务器端用更早的过期时间覆盖这个cookie——服务器进程的完成。一旦在JavaScript轮询中检测到cookie过期，“Loading…”就会被隐藏。

JavaScript的一面

function buttonClick() { // Suppose this is the handler for the button that starts
    $("#loadingProgressOverlay").show();  // Show loading animation
    startDownloadChecker("loadingProgressOverlay", 120);
    // Here you launch the download URL...
    window.location.href = "myapp.com/myapp/download";
}

// This JavaScript function detects the end of a download.
// It does timed polling for a non-expired Cookie, initially set on the
// client-side with a default max age of 2 min.,
// but then overridden on the server-side with an *earlier* expiration age
// (the completion of the server operation) and sent in the response.
// Either the JavaScript timer detects the expired cookie earlier than 2 min.
// (coming from the server), or the initial JavaScript-created cookie expires after 2 min.
function startDownloadChecker(imageId, timeout) {

    var cookieName = "ServerProcessCompleteChecker";  // Name of the cookie which is set and later overridden on the server
    var downloadTimer = 0;  // Reference to the timer object

    // The cookie is initially set on the client-side with a specified default timeout age (2 min. in our application)
    // It will be overridden on the server side with a new (earlier) expiration age (the completion of the server operation),
    // or auto-expire after 2 min.
    setCookie(cookieName, 0, timeout);

    // Set a timer to check for the cookie every second
    downloadTimer = window.setInterval(function () {

        var cookie = getCookie(cookieName);

        // If cookie expired (NOTE: this is equivalent to cookie "doesn't exist"), then clear "Loading..." and stop polling
        if ((typeof cookie === 'undefined')) {
            $("#" + imageId).hide();
            window.clearInterval(downloadTimer);
        }

    }, 1000); // Every second
}

// These are helper JavaScript functions for setting and retrieving a Cookie
function setCookie(name, value, expiresInSeconds) {
    var exdate = new Date();
    exdate.setTime(exdate.getTime() + expiresInSeconds * 1000);
    var c_value = escape(value) + ((expiresInSeconds == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + exdate.toUTCString());
    document.cookie = name + "=" + c_value + '; path=/';
}

function getCookie(name) {
    var parts = document.cookie.split(name + "=");
    if (parts.length == 2 ) {
        return parts.pop().split(";").shift();
    }
}

Java/Spring服务器端

    @RequestMapping("/download")
    public String download(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        //... Some logic for downloading, returning a result ...

        // Create a Cookie that will override the JavaScript-created
        // Max-Age-2min Cookie with an earlier expiration (same name)
        Cookie myCookie = new Cookie("ServerProcessCompleteChecker", "-1");
        myCookie.setMaxAge(0); // This is immediate expiration, but can also
                               // add +3 seconds for any flushing concerns
        myCookie.setPath("/");
        response.addCookie(myCookie);
        //... -- presumably the download is writing to the Output Stream...
        return null;
}
