i'm being told that some of our users are getting confused while waiting for a page to finish processing, and they inadvertantly try to perform another action before the page has loaded. the solution i've been asked to implement is an intermediary page the just says: 'Processing, Please Wait...". for example, page 1 has a select list containing shape objects. upon selecting the shape you want an action fetches and populates colors, another select list on the page. the problem is that the users are selecting the shape and then immediately attempting to select a color, which hasn't been populated yet. i've attempted to disable the editable items on the page using stylesheets while the page is loading, but often that causes problems since the disabled fields aren't populated then.
is there a way to call an action that displays a separate page while data is being loaded on the target page and then load the target page once the data has been retrieved? i'm guessing no due to the way the HTTP request/response loop functions... any suggestions on how to implement something like this? would Tiles allow me to interject a temporary Tile that has the processing message displayed while the data is being fetched and layed out? thanks andy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
