I want to popup a window with a message while the rest of my asp page processes and then at the end of the code close the popup window that i opened up. Can I do this and if so how ????

What I usually do is to make the calling page disappear and then show a loading message until the new page is done...
pageOne.htm
<script>
function subForm(){
document.getElementById("wholePage"
.style.display = "none"
showMess()
}
function showMess(){
thisDiv = document.getElementById("message"
if (thisDiv.innerHTML == ""{
thisDiv.innerHTML = "<h2>Loading</h2>"
}
else{
thisDiv.innerHTML = ""
}
setTimeout("showMess()",1000)
}
</script>
<body>
<div id="wholePage">
...
...
page contents here
...
...
...
<input type=button onClick="subForm()" value="Submit">
...
</div>
<div id="message"></div>
</body>
