What do you think of launching a frame page with two frames (top and bottom), the top one display the msg and the bottom one do data loading and size set to 0 to hide it, once the loader completes its job close the top and bottom frames). Since I don't use frames that often, just to check to see if anyone has done something similar and that works before I spend the time.
Many thanks.
