I've seen people use Javascript (changing text on a page), using redirects, etc to handle the case where a "please wait" screen has to be shown on a submit.
Are there best practices on doing this with CGI::Application? Here's the problem: 1) mode1 - displays a form with submit. 2) mode2 - after user hits submit, would like to display the page with infomation trickling to the page - "done step 1, ... done step2 ..." Once the job is complete, would like to display "mode3" - the results page. I've seen an archived message in this list - using "headers - none", and then print data that will now directly go to the client browser page. Others have suggested using Javascript to put up a generic "working..." sign in a <div> section on the page. I am looking for any other ideas or thoughts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
