I don't want to cloud the issue anymore, but it all depends on what your situation is.
For some pages, I'll simply change the wording on a button (assuming your using a button) and then disable it, however, this doesn't work with all browsers. If you're talking about credit card processing, you need to be more careful, obviously, so the user doesn't submit twice or more. In another app, I open a new window with an animated gif and wording to the effect of, "Please wait while we retrieve your results...". This still doesn't prevent them from clicking on other buttons, links, or even closing their browser, but it does give them a visual clue that something is going on. You could also use an iframe (check your browser for consistency) or DHTML. Just some thoughts.

I'm trying to find a way to duplicate the "busy" icon most browsers have. I removed all the toolbars from the users browsers window, including the navigation toolbar, so if a page takes a little longer than they expected they start clicking on other things. I want to avoid this by giving them a visual clue that the browser is doing something and to wait. I tried using the onUnload handler in the body tag but that doesn't seem to work. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, JS __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
