how to make a please wait page ?
Hi,
On my page, I have a search function in php. Sometimes, it can take some time to ouput and just hang … Therefore, I was wondering how to output a “search being processed” message on the screen (as found in many sites) and then output the result at once when ready. I just have no idea how it is done.
Anybody would could spare a minute to explain me would really help me out !
thanks in advance !!!
