Actually safari does havea Throbber, it is the "spinning wheel" that also is being used by other applications.

If that is the wheel made out of a number of black/grey circles moving about (I've never used Safari!) Mozilla also uses that throbber- it's been kinda copied by a large number of Ajax online applications too. I think this page would benefit from an example of that generic throbber. 217.204.11.194 23:51, 19 March 2006 (UTC) CortalUX[reply]

spinning wheel

Does anyone know the origin of the spinning wheel? The wheel in this article looks nothing like the wheel that is used everywhere, although I lack the expertise (viz. there is a probably a program somewhere to do it but I can't find it) to lift the spinning wheel image that is used in Firefox, Safari and every Flex/AJAX web app. It's a standard OSX component - the Interface Builder that comes with OSX has it. I don't see Adobe (Macromedia) just adopting it from OSX though... maybe it has a different origin? I'm sure I've seen it even on the Microsoft site. It's only a matter of time before it's the universal throbber. Gorman 05:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Firefox Throbber

I've removed it because the throbber was not the Firefox throbber. The image I removed was Image:Spinning_wheel_throbber.gif, and its description reads:

"Spinning wheel" throbber, created by the Tango Project, inspired by the Mac OS X spinner animation.

I will repeat it again: This throbber is NOT used by Firefox. bCube.talk(contribs); 22:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
