Showing some message while a page is loading

[ejanakieff]

I have a form that accepts diferents option of search (form into an asp page).

When the end user clicks on the "Search" button, sometimes the result page (another asp page) spends a lot of time to loading, and sometimes the form page remains visible several seconds and then begin to loading the result page.

I want to diplay a message like "The data is loading. Waiting..." between the end user clicks on the button since the result page apperars.

Thanks in advance.

Use a response.flush at the end of each loop where the search data is being built up to send the buffer contents to the browser. This way the data will appear on the page one record at a time.
