Asp search in progress page...How?

[Kermit]

Any suggestions to the following problem...

I need a search in progress page, so when a user clicks my search button
they are then directed to a 'searching...' page with an animated gif.

The search in progress page needs to use 'GET' to go and retrieve the
results of the search. Once the results come back they replace the search in
progress page.

Any help appreciated!

Many thanks,

Ian

This could be done with a mix of client-side code and server-side code.
Basically, you write out some HTML with a "searching" message, flush the
response, run your server-side code, then flush the rest of the response,
which would contain client-side code that would hide the original
"searching" message.
