Can I ask how you invoked the layer switch?
I am assuming on loosing the focus of the window, but I guess you could have
also used the events handlers!

I did it in a rather simple way... doing it by creating a hidden layer that
has a "bar" (a graphic, button, etc.) in it. Create a function in
Javascript that shows the layer when you click something. The function
alters the size of the bar as time passes, say every 10th of a second. When
the browser finally loads the next page, the whole thing disappears. The
nice thing about it is that it acts like a popup status window rather than a
whole other page, and you can figure out the timing so if it ever reached
the end, the browser would normally timeout. The bad thing about it is that
you would have to have every page call the script and have the layer in it
and have each link call the function, but that's not too big of a deal.

Has anyone here implemented a progress bar.
Similar to what happens on expedia when searching for travel information.
What is the key to this with a web based app?
Thanks,
