showing loding image...

[DotNetGnat]

Guys,

I am opening a new page on a button click event to show the search results. This new window comes up blank not giving the user any obvious message to the user that the process is running...sometimes the page takes 30 seconds to load...

I was wondering what is the easiest way to show/hide div with the loading message or image...

I already have the js for hiding/unhiding div...

Can i do something like

Page.attributes.Add(onload, show)

and

Page.attributes.Add(oncomplete, hide)

any suggestions...

You don't need to involve ASP.NET at all here, it's the client side that you want to mimick a loading message on so I'd suggest you start by reading up some javascript/jquery examples.

DotNetGnat, I've been following your questions on the forums lately and have noticed a common theme. You don't seem to understand the nature of web development. I would recommend you take some time to research how the web enviornment works. not web forms or asp.net, just what the web is. How http works, what the strengths and weaknesses are and how it can be leveraged.

I believe this will help clarify some of your questions about how to approach a problem.

Jason,

I am not a web developer. I always frame questions in a easy way in order to get some ideas...

Thanks again...
