Hi, I have the same scenario in lots of list pages in my application. What I have done is have an intemediate page, say loading.html, in which I put whatever message or gif I want the user to see. Now once this loading page loads, I fire the onload event of loading.html body. In this event's handler, I submit a form to the actual action. So until the processing is done, you will have the message page displayed to the user. This has worked for me very well. Hope it works for you as well.

(assuming you submit to your action on first page and gif is located on same page and you go directly to destination page. what i ended up doing is finding an applet for my animation and using dynamic html to display the applet when the user clicks the submit button. the applet continues to animate until the page comes back from the submit and looks like a progress bar. -jm -----Original Message----- From: Prasad, Kamakshya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 11:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Displaying an in-progress page while navigating from one page to another Hi All, In our system we have some pages which take lot of time to process because of the complicated back end logic. So, sometimes the navigation from one page to another page is very slow. What our client wants is to show an intermediate revolving gif with some informative text in it before the next page loads. What I heard that it's possible to put some links in header of HTML which can show an intermediate page before the next page loads. Could anyone let me know about HTML head option? We are using struts framework for our web tier. So I want to know if there are any options in struts to do so.
