How do you create a "Please Wait" msg?

[chuckdobbs]

What is the best way to create a "Please Wait" message for long running reports? I have some that are 10-15 seconds that really need to give the user feedback that it is running. I tried adding HTML <DIV>to the front and hiding it after the report loaded. Unfortunately I need a JAVA equiv to a "Reponse.flush" to get it to load fast.

I'm sure this has been done many times before. Can anyone help?

The problem you face is that WebFocus is a NON-PERSISTENT connection. Once a response is sent, the connection is terminated. So, if you send 'Please Wait', that's your response, and you never get the output.
