Processing Request... page?

[ilalonde]

Hi,

I've got two pages. The first page has a simple form that collects a value from the user and then posts this value to the second page that performs a query. This query has some loops in it that can sometimes force it to wait up to 15 seconds.

My question is how can I implement a "Processing Request..." message until the results are returned?

Right now it just sits on the first page until the results are returned, THEN goes to the second (display) page. How do I call some sort of message to be displayed so it's a smoother transition and the user doesn't think the browser has stopped responding?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Perhaps do a Response.Flush after the top part of the new page so at least the user can see that something is happening...

Exactly what does "Response.Flush" do ?

"Flush" everything in the buffer into the response.
meaning display whatever that is in the buffer.
