make the same window say "Loading"?
not unless you used DHTML to create an IFRAME
or DIV or some similar HMTL element (i havent
kept up on DHTML, so i dont know exactly what
you'd need to use).
set it to be the entire size of the browser
width and height = 100%, then, at the bottom
of the page, put in a javascript statement
to hide it.
i did something very similar to this once,
and i don't reccomend it. it's a bad kludge...
but it does work, so definately check it out
if really want to have the "Loading" message
in the same browser window as the document
that's being loaded....
my suggestion is to start with IFRAME, DIV, and FRAME
HTML elements and experiment.....
