Re: status page between submit and results

Here?! Sunny today! ;-) I highly suggest you use client side scripting in this case. onLoad Event handler. A load event occurs when Navigator finishes loading a window or all frames within a <FRAMESET> tag. The onLoad event handler executes JavaScript code when a load event occurs. Here's a sample code for your result page: <body onload=document.loadingimage.src='blank.gif'> ...... Some Coding Here ....... <p align=center><img src=loading.gif name=loadingimage></p> ...... The rest of coding...... </body> That's the snippiest piece of code. [I didn't test it, however, I'm sure that it work out] Create a loading.gif animation gif which shows a [Loading...] animation. It will be replaced by a blank gif file named blank.gif which shows a blank screen.

I've noticed on other sites ("paypal" for instance) that when you submit it throws up a "loading..." page that goes onto the results page when it is returned. any ideas on how to do this? tks mitch -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
