Hi! We're developing a database driven online prospectus. It's search function normally happens pretty quickly but sometimes it can leave the user staring at a blank screen for a few seconds and they may start to get worried that nothing is happening. I want to put up a 'searching database, please wait....' message which appears on screen then dissapears when the search results load (I've seen this done on sites like Photodisc and Expedia) - the obvious solution is to have a page which displays the message and holds the search values then re-directs after a few seconds using the refresh meta tag to the proper search page. Does anyone have a slightly more elegant solution ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Will DG Cox - Editorial and Digital Media Team Marketing and Development, Sheffield Hallam University Tel 0114 225 3893 Fax 0114 225 2094 E-mail [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
