This is something that we use where I work:
<cfparam name="url.directory" default="">
<cfparam name="url.page" default="">
<cfparam name="url.queryString" default="">
<cfparam name="speed" default="5000">
<html>
<head>
<title>Please Wait...</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
var URL = "<cfoutput>#basehref#/#url.directory#<cfif
Trim(url.directory) NEQ "">/</cfif>#url.page#?#url.queryString#</cfoutput>";
var speed = <cfoutput>#speed#</cfoutput>;
function reload() {
location = URL
}
setTimeout("reload()", speed);
</script>
</head>
<body>

Just cfinclude this on the calling page. For instance, we use this on a
login page. While you are being logged in, we show a small flash movie that
says, Loggin In, Please Wait. It has a little animation so that the users
know that someting is happening.
