Totally incorrect. I have a page on our intranet that checks whois information against about 10 whois servers. Right at the top of the page it says "Checking....". As soon as a response comes back from a whois server it shows in the browser ie :- domain.com available domain.net unavailable The list grows as the results come back.. As soon as all the results have been returned the message "Checking..." changes to "Finished" even if all the images etc have not loaded yet... All done with PHP and a one line javascript call.
