Over riding jQuery Mobile's stock "loading" modal
Raw
jQueryMobileBlock.js
/*
I was struggling with the fact that the "stock" jQuery Mobile "loading" message
allowed users to click on UI items around it...
so it's Mike Alsup's BlockUI to the rescue!
first include his blockui library from:
http://jquery.malsup.com/block/#download
*/
// Add this right before the closing <body> tag
(function () {
var originalHideMethod = $.mobile.hidePageLoadingMsg;
$.mobile.hidePageLoadingMsg = function () {
$("body").unblock();
originalHideMethod.apply(this, arguments);
};
var originalShowMethod = $.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg;
$.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg = function () {
$("body").block({ "message": null });
originalShowMethod.apply(this, arguments);
};
})();

brilliant works like a charm in JQM 1.0.1.

the default z-index of the page loading message by JQM is at 100. So I modified the blockUI.js to set the baseZ to 99. So the blocker comes up just under the JQM loading msg.

This problem is sovled in jquery-archive/jquery-mobile#3414, in my project, I do like this:

    $(document).on("mobileinit", function () {

        $.mobile.loader.prototype.options.text = "loading...";
        $.mobile.loader.prototype.options.textVisible = true;
        $.mobile.loader.prototype.options.theme = "a";
        $.mobile.loader.prototype.options.html = "";

        //Thanks: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/3414 
        $.mobile.loader.prototype.defaultHtml = "<div class='ui-loader'>" +
            "<span class='ui-icon ui-icon-loading'></span>" +
            "<h1></h1>" +
            "<div class='ui-loader-curtain'></div>" +
            "</div>",

        $(document).ajaxStart(function() {
            $.mobile.loading('show');
        })
        $(document).ajaxStop(function() {
            $.mobile.loading('hide');
        })
