what i want is to send two html page to the user first the "please wait" which 
of course is faster to send, while waiting for the process in the server side to 
finish and generate another html page and throws it back to the user. I want to do 
this so that the user will know that server has acknowledge the request and asking you 
to wait for a while while processing. I was thinking more on sending two dynamic html 
page with one request. The "please wait" page is just a dummy page that will let the 
user know something is being done on the server. Hope this makes it clear =)  Is there 
a way for this?  Thank you.
