Hi all, i have a problem, i have a form that is submitted, which enteres info into a database, and sends emails out to the prospective members, However, the database only allows the email to be entered once in the entire database, well because of the length of time it takes for the emails to be sent, some people click on the submit button several times, this causes an error after the first attempt... Is their anyway to make the asp page, display before the script is finished, to say somethign like processing you request..

thanks i look forwward to yoiur responces

[tt]Why does the email processing page take so long? it should not and what you want to do is after they submit the form and the email page been processed have the email page re-direct to another page.


Here's what I user on my email pages

At the top of the page
<%
dim MyString
MyString = &quot;MyRedirected_Page.asp&quot;'mystring
%>



At the bottom of the page
%>
<a name=&quot;ovhref&quot; href=&quot;<%=MyString%>&quot;></a>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
ovhref.click()
%>

Place this in your Head section

<script language=&quot;javaScript&quot;> var processing = window.open(&quot;pageload.htm&quot;,&quot;processing&quot;,&quot;width=200,height=200&quot;) </script>

and this in your body section

<body onload=&quot;processing.close()&quot;>

Change pageload.htm to a file that displays the msg etc like a scrolling &quot;Page Loading&quot; etc

well the above script should work fine, and in correlation with Tony the email processing shouldn't really take that long unless you're sending to dozens of people.
ASP is processed by the server and nothing will happen on the client side per se until that has finished processing. The java script i put above sends a small window to the client prior to the asp processing (assuming you put it prior to the asp script) Saturday 12.00
