I am using ColdFusion to display a screen that could take several minutes to build. The page does not begin to load until everything it needs has been pulled into memory and is ready to display.
Long story short, I would like to put an onclick event in the calling page that displays a simple pop-up message: "The following page may take a few minutes to load." By putting it in the calling page, it will be displayed immediately to the user. Problem is I don't want the user to have to click on the OK (in fact I don't even want an OK button, just a pop-up message). I would like it to go away on its own either when the called page is ready to be displayed or after x seconds.
I'm open to ideas if there is a better way to do this...
Thank you!
Jennie
