I have serveral ASP's where there is heave server side calculations done. My problem is the user clicks a check box and then about two seconds later the box shows checked. Is there any way I can change the users mouse pointer to an hourglass while it's processing?

Any advice on how to or where it look is much appreciated!
 
The checkbox is a server side control. When you user clicks it, the page is refreshed. I have:

<SCRIPT ID=serverEventHandlersVBS LANGUAGE=vbscript RUNAT=Server>

Sub thisPage_onshow()
if not thisPage.firstEntered then
call CheckClick()
end if
End Sub

Sub CheckClick()
...
A lot of pulling of record sets, checking request.form values and reseting form values.
...
End sub

</SCRIPT>

Does that give you enough info? I think if I could put something after <HTML> that turned the cursor into an hourglass and then set it back just before </HTML> would work.
 
I don't want to set the checkbox to checked immediately because of the processing being done. Other values on the page may be changed as well. I want the user to know that processing is being done so they need to wait until a new page is supplied to them. The user clicks and that page stays present on the screen until the server has finished processing everything and then a new page is passed down to the client pc.
