Last Updated : 07 Feb, 2022

jQuery Mobile is a web-based technology used to make responsive content that can be accessed on all smartphones, tablets, and desktops.

In this article, we will be using the jQuery Mobile Loader text Option to set the text of the message. The default value of this option is ‘Loading‘.

Syntax:

The Syntax to initialize the loader with the text option is specified below:

$( ".selector" ).loader({
 text: "Loading Page..."
});
or
$.mobile.loading( "show", {
 text: "Loading Page..."
});

Get the text option:

var html = $( ".selector" ).loader( "option", "text" );

Set the html option:

$( ".selector" ).loader( "option", "text", "Loading Page..." );

CDN Links: Add the below jQuery Mobile scripts that will be needed for your project.
