Hi Asif,

Are you sure you mean JSP? 'JSP' stands for Java Server Pages, which is a server-side technology.

If you mean loading indicators in JavaScript (like GMail), check out these two pages for AJAX Activity Indicators:
http://napyfab.com/ajax-indicators/

You can use document.createElement() to make an img element, and appendChild() to add it to an existing DOM element.

var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = 'images/loading.gif';
myelement.appendChild(img);

Use some CSS to position the image.
