Try something like this:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function kill_loader() {
$('loader').style.display = 'none';
$('contents').style.display = 'block';
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="kill_loader();">
<div id=loader style="display: block; overflow: auto; valign: middle;
text-align: center; background-color: #fff; width: 100%; height:
100%;">
<img src="images/spinner.gif" />
</div>
<div id=contents style="display: none;">hi there</div>
</body>
</html>
