Override preloader div to a Section element

Override preloader div to a Section element

I need to add a div preloader at the centre of an element article!

I don’t want this preloader to expand into the whole body, because the laterial menu is static!

So I want him to occupy only the element article and overlap the element section until the data from this section are ready to be displayed after a request.

I created an example, with a setTimout simulating a display time of preloader.

But in the example, the preloader is not overlapping the section, but pushing it down low.

Face a solution is you put position:absolute in the preloader, so he runs away from the flow of content, then you put width discounting the width of the sidebar and in the heigh you put a height discounting the height of the footer or whatever you need, use the calc() CSS, like height: calc(100% - 97px);
