Search progress bar
I have an ASP page on my intranet that searches a large database. After you click search it takes a while for the results to display so you just get a blank page and it looks like nothing is happening.
What I want to do is, using javascript, display something that makes it obvious that it is actually doing something. This could be either a progress bar or an animated image that dispappears once the page is loaded.
Does anyone know where I can find a script that will do this?
Thanks.

You can best achieve this by setting a refresh to occur every few seconds or so using a timer routine.
Or you can script in a redirect to occur using a meta-tag.Code:timerID = setTimeout("window.location.reload(true)",1000);
Or script in a redirect in the onload within a body-tag.Code:<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=http://www.yourdomain.com">
So as you can see, there are a number of ways to do this trick as long as you are creative and/or a javascript freak (like me).Code:<body onLoad="window.location='/newlocation.html'">
