I don't know about the handlers, but I've never read of an HTTP header to do as you ask. What I do, good or not I don't know, is send the Please Wait message as a load of HTML 'div' elements with their 'display' CSS attribute set to 'hidden'. As my program works, it sends at regular intervals little bits of JavaScript to tell the client to display another DIV. This has the effect of a progress bar incrementing. When I do not know how much I have to do, I have the progress bar reverse itself once full. When the program is ready to move on, it sends some JS to redirect the client to the next URI. I've found that animated GIFs don't work in this situation since the IE client I work with needs to get the whole document before it will look for elements linked to from that document - including images and stylesheets. Hope this helps. - -- Cheers Lee mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] $$=qw$808273788400074285838400657879847269820080698276007265677569820727$; $$=~s$(\d\d)$\$_.=chr(\$1+32)$ge;eval; -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAwUAPkzzA6drfekeF/QBAQFgQwP/Sm/840HI2pD+I4jhRqoqino2P1+Cza56 OI9aA8UYutvreXkWaoaSrmGEiPMDuaLhcOHi1fAgDCZ8k33VPrhVlgZyHz97LqAG pwrS0/cOPW+55SFQjw9RmmyIc9i6b4TPGOPury0RbaHbO+RIH23Dsag4Si5uEHuX SncVZ6Adz50= =I26o -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
