Hey JMan, CFFlush was my first attempt at doing this. It worked great, did exactly what I wanted it to do but it stopped my CFLocation tags from working (as documented).
AJAX might be the way to go. I was hoping to roll this "loading..." message out system wide. Going the AJAX route would create a lot more work for me though.
