All - I have a following link
<a href="javascript:callExcel()>Generate excel</a> the function callExcel() just uses document.form.action='excel.cfm?requesttimeout=1500'; When the 'Generate excel' link is clicked, the user stays on current page, and the excel file is generated. The user never sees the actual 'excel.cfm' which has 'Please wait...' message as we are writing lot of data to excel. I tried to overcome this by going to an intermediate screen which has 'Please wait' message, and then redirecting to excel.cfm page, but once the excel is written, I can still see 'Please wait...' message. What is the best way to handle this? Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358648 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
