Processing ... Display

[Satish Gopalakrishnan]

I want to display a "Processing....Please wait" message when a button is clicked and processing is being done in the background..I want to be able to control this display i.e turn it on and off from diff pages.

Balaji...Thanks for the link but that is not what i am looking for.. i actually do not want to go to a different page...I want something like a div/layer which appears over the screen and says "Processing...." and disappears when the operation is completed. I hope u get what i mean.

When the process is complete, how would the browser know?? I know how to make the layer appear, not that hard:

The Prometric website might have a similar feature that you're describing here. Try to schedule an exam and watch the pop up page display while the other page is processing in the background.

It doesn't show up right away so you'll have to go thru the registration process for a while first.
