Is there a javascript guru in the house? I'm working on a new feature and I need some help with it. PM if you can lend a hand and I'll explain what I need.

Cheers

 

Ok here is a bit about what I want to do:

I have a form in a javascript opened window. The processing of the form can take quite some time like as long as several minutes. So when you submit the form it just appears to sit there until the server responds with a page which sends <script>parent.close();</script> and closes the window.

I want to have that window serve a dual roll. I want it to show the form and then once the submit button is pressed I want it to display a message saying "please wait" or words to that effect. Clearly the form still needs to get processed while the page is changed to read "please wait". I have tried using a frameset with two frames, one with the form and another with the please wait message. I can't get the frames to resize. I can do it manually but not with javascript.

I'm open to other ideas for how to do this or perhaps just help me get what I've got going

Thanks

 

have the script that does the processing spit out some text every xxx milliseconds to keep the browser interested in what's going on.
