Re: Re: How can I make a Loading... screen?

Ahh, OK, I thought you wanted a popup window. There is no way to "unwrite" text on a page. The only thing that comes to mind is using a textfield and changing its value through javascript, but that leaves an ugly text field on your page, unless you want to do some CSS to hide it best you can.
