Any ideas? You also need to use those layer thingies with DHTML or whatever... I archived a sample somewhere... Ah, here it is: (This is somebody else's code, not mine) ============[ code ]============ <HTML> ..<header and stuff>... <BODY onload=" if (IE) { wait.style.display = 'none'; } else { document.layers['wait'].visibility='hidden'; }"> <DIV style="position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; cursor: wait;" id="wait"> <TABLE border="0" width="100%" height="100%"> <TR> <TD width="100%" valign="middle" align="center"> One moment please... <BR> <BR> <BR> Loading directory listing </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> ..<the rest of the page (reason of wait screen) >... </BODY> </HTML> ==========[ end code ]========== NOTE: You should change 'if (IE)' to something usefull. If you just copy/paste this code, you'll get a javascript-error because IE isn't defined (it is on my site, :-)). * R&zE: -- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» -- Renze Munnik -- DataLink BV -- -- E: renze@datalink.nl -- W: +31 23 5326162 -- F: +31 23 5322144 -- M: +31 6 21811143 -- H: +31 23 5516190 -- -- Stationsplein 82 -- 2011 LM HAARLEM -- -- http://www.datalink.nl -- «««««««««««««««««««««««« -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
