@UltimaterMay 09.2005 — You could do something server-side like write-out a waiting page before executing all your laggy statements and then update the page when the statements finish.

Or you could even Use frames and submit a background frame and update the visible page.

i.e. When the user triggers a function in the visible frame, it will submit a FORM in the hidden frame.

Then as an onsubmit event of the hidden frame's FORM, it will change the visible frame's URL to some loading page and then submit its FORM (in the hidden frame).

When the hidden FORM finishes submitting to the server and when the program is done it will write-out a new page to the hidden frame.

This new hidden-frame-page will have unique information form the server.

And in this page, it will have an automaticly-executing statement to update the visible frame with its information.

Success!
