if you can get the first bytes of the second (slow) page loaded you can start that page with the html for a div to appear in the centre of the screen in front of the "real" content. The last thing on the page should be the html which moves this either away to the left (negative coordinates) of the screen or "to the back" behind the real content.
this e.g works in ie (but not f-fox, that is left as an exercise for the reader) : <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .wait { background-color: #CCCCFF; position: absolute; visibility: visible; z-index: 10; left: 90px; top: 40px; width: 200px; height: 200px; } --> </style> </head> <body onload="waitOne.style.zIndex='-10'"> <div class="wait" id="waitOne">Please Wait</div> <div> <img src="http://www.direct.gov.uk/assetRoot/04/01/85/19/04018519.jpg"; width="100" height="100" /> <img src="http://www.arroyofest.org/images/T-shirt%20back.JPG"; width="100" height="100" /> <img src="http://www.direct.gov.uk/assetRoot/04/01/85/19/04018519.jpg"; width="100" height="100" /></div> </body> </html> [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 07/12/2006 12:17:16: > On 12/7/06, Fred Janon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>It's probably more typing than my solution because of the number of > > onClick handlers I'll have to add > > > > Not sure if you can do it in your context, but instead of calling the JS > > function in all buttons onClick, you could just call it in the FORM > > onSubmit... > > > > > > Unfortunately, my problem is that I need it on plain links as well as > in forms.
