Loading message

[minus]

I would like to display a simple loading message.

Scenery: Say my web page has two frames, one for navigation, one for content. Clicking on an item in the navigation part triggers a request to be sent to the server. The result set would then be sent back and displayed within the content frame.

[U]My problem:[/] Processing the request takes time to the server. Thus, I want a loading message to be displayed in the meantime within the content frame.

Has anyone a hint?

This has come up before, the best way to do this is in javascript

Javascript or Flash.... depending on what you want to do.

Well. Thanks for your great help.

I figured I needed two messages:

one that was displayed once the request is sent to the server - this is done by displaying another layer;

and another one, when the response is being generated by the server (since some headers come out first with the rest of the page being generated, you need a layer that disappears when the page is fully loaded by the browser.)

Should you be interested by a piece of code, just whistle.
