Automatically Close Child Window

[sheykc]

I have a main page that calls another webform thru Javascript, on a button's onclick. This second page only displays "Please Wait". This is needed because sometimes it takes several minutes for a page to refresh or save and we want the users to know the system is doing something.

The problem is, I don't know how to close the 2nd window when the main form is done processing.

Has anyone done anything similiar?

Thanks.

You can do this via javascript (maybe ask in Javascript forum for the best method though). Another alternative, is to show the "please wait" message on the actual page itself (and, in my opinion, is a much easier and more user friendly way).

Hmmm...on the same page...never thought about that. That might work, though the page is pretty crowded already.

Actually, that won't work. The problem is, if a user is accessing the site thru a VPN connection and they are opening a large contract (like 500+ items in the grid) the page goes blank until everything loads or refreshes if it's a save, then it all appears at once.

If you know away around that....
