The Loading Mask widget will hide all the page's content until the onLoad's event, which mean that the website will not be displayed until the current page be fully loaded. Also this widget can be used in conjunction with the YUI Connection Manager to block the actions over the page until the AJAX's request finish. See the examples below:

Also, you can setup the mask before display it, in order to customize the way the the mask should be displayed.
Every time you click on a dynamic link, the loading mask (modal with transparency) will be displayed and will be hiding at the loading process end (Integration with the YUI Connection Manager)
