Page Loading Notification

[Noonoo]

Hello, I'd like to display an image or message to let visitors know a page is opening.

I've got some Javascript which in theory hides a layer once the page ready state is completed. However, even using Response.Flush (with Buffer = TRUE) the content is all released in one go, so the layer only displays very briefly.

Is there another technique to display part of a page whilst the rest is generated. My page includes 2 large chunks of looping code and it would be nice to display something before these are reached.

Any ideas gratefully received...

Here are two thread links, the first is the original thread that I covered this in, the second is an alteration to that thread for an hourglass effect:
Loading Message and Min 3 second wait loading message: Thread333-410519
Hourglass instead of loading message: thread333-416600

Hope these help,
