Ajax and call to an external resource.

[Smith]

Hello,
My aspx page redirects to a page on an external web site. The external page
is .ashx.
I usually display an animation( using update panel and scriptmanager),
prompting user that some data is being retreived.
Is there any way i can stop displying my animation when the remote page has
completed?

Thanks
PS

if you redirect, the new page will replace the page with animation, so
you do not need to do anything to stop it. one caveat, unlike a
xmlhttprequest, a redirect will normally stop an animation.

Hi Bruce,
My redirect does not stop my animation. I recall that my external ressource
is a genric handle (.ashx file).
I do not know why it is like this.
Thanks
