Thanks, Scott, not there yet, maybe I'm missing something.
Here's more details:
MAIN WINDOW
js function xyz(obj,el,p1,p2,p3)
document.frames['loadFrame'].src = ''+obj+'&col='+jcol+'&pop1='+p1+'&pop2='+p2+'&pop3='+p3;
bla bla tons of stuff
<div id="waitDiv" style="position:absolute;top:100;left:100;height:200;width:200;z-index:2;visibility:hidden;">
Loading. Please wait...
</div>
<iframe name="loadFrame" id="loadFrame" style="display:none;" src=""
----------------------------------------------------------------
content of dataloader.cfm:
top:
<script>
parent.document.getElementById('waitDiv').style.display = 'block';
</script>
main js:
pull data
and populate the MAIN window
// now close the "please wait .." frame
parent.document.getElementById('waitDiv').style.visibility = 'hidden';
msg win does not show up, data not loaded, what am i missing? many thanks.
