Script to Display Message During Processing

Hi.

I'm looking for a script (Java or other) to display a message that basically says to expect some delays during processing before displaying the final output.

I have a php application with a mysql backend - the application is dynamic and in some cases takes considerable time (1-2 minutes) between user selection and output.

I would like to display this message without using a popup or a new window - I just want it to display on the same page that as the output - i.e., the output will replace the message as soon as it is available ...

any ideas?

that u have to manage using JS,

try this:
Code: 
<?
echo &quot;<div name='outp' align='center'>Otuputting...</div>&quot;;
flush();
//do ur long php work here...
?> 
//All ur HTML
</html>
<script>
document.getElementsByName(&quot;outp&quot;).innerText=&quot;&quot;
</script>

now does it work?

\u000A is the Unicode escape for newline.

and \u000a is interpreted as newline when parsed by the compiler

so

// char c1='\u000a';

became

// char c1='
';

which cause compilation error.

if you comment out as

/* char c1='\u000a'; */

then it will be ok.

This doesn't seem to have the effect I'm looking for ... doesn't output now until all php processing is completed, and still remains at the top of the screen ... any further ideas?

it outputs: &quot;Outputting...&quot; at the top of the page ... I tried removing the script and still doesn't output until everything is output. I currently have it placed as the first item below the initial <HTML> tag...
