I create a div with position absolute and visibility visible and put a gif
in the div
Then I have the onload event change the visibility. By making the position
absolute it doesnt affect placement of rest of the page. I also have the
submit buttons show the div to indidicate to users the program is acting.
You can see an example at www.secureyourposition.com (choose Reports or Gap
Notification) site is still preliminary so all tabs are not operable.
If you don't have CF5 (hence cfflush) your best bet will be to show the give
from the onunload event of calling page.
<style>
splash{
position:absolute;
left:200px;
top:200px;
background-color:white;
visibilty:visible;
}
</style>
<cfflush interval="300">
<div class='splash' id='splash'><img src="/images/waiting.gif"
border=0></div>
.
.
<body onload="hideElement('splashwait');" >
