Please Wait ... Processing Data Screen

L

Lucas Tam

Does anyone have easy to use sample code to build a "Please wait...
processing data screen?"

I'm interested in something like Expedia's search page

Thanks.

You can also do something similar that's a little simpler by just
redirecting 'thru' a wait page. I've used this concept before: if you
load a page in the browser, and in its body onload you redirect to another
page, the first page will stay loaded on the screen until some response
data is received. So as long as buffer=true, you could create a wait page
and insert it into the flow:

page 1 ---redirects to
wait page ---via JS, navigates to
page 2 ---a long-running page with buffer=true

and in your wait page you can put one of those animated gifs...

another approach is to set a div tag containing the message to invisible in
the onload page function in script. on the server, use attributes to map a
buttons click event to make the div tag visible. when the page loads, the
message goes away. while the page is being loaded, the message is present.
