Hi Philip, I removed the OT in the subject because I think this is on-topic for our group.
I'd suggest reading into DHTML (Dynamic HTML), basically, modern browsers treat every element within a page as an object, and depending on the type of object, different methods for manipulating the object (style, visibility, content, etc.) are available, via JavaScript, VBScript et al. What you want to do isn't find a way to "run an anchor tag". What you want to do is to find a way to manipulate the content of your "loading" message, in much the way the anchor tag you saw worked. Have a look at the anchor tag's source; if it calls a javascript, look at the javascript as well. Here's some quick sample code to get you started, also.. Maybe you can work with it to get it to do what you want. <div id="myTestDiv">Page is loading...</div><br> <!--- see how we reference the element by it's id? ---> <a href="#" onmouseover="myTestDiv.innerHTML='<b>Page is loading...<br></b>'">Make it bold</a><br> <a href="#" onmouseover="myTestDiv.innerHTML='Page is loading...<br>'">Make it light</a><br> <a href="#" onmouseover="myTestDiv.style.display='none'">Make it disappear</a><br> <a href="#" onmouseover="myTestDiv.style.display='inline'">Make it reappear</a><br> Here's a good starting point for you: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml /reference/properties/innerhtml.asp Oh, BTW, the biggest drawback to using DHTML is cross-browser differences. If you are coding for browser compatibility, make sure you test your code in all target browsers.
