I would use JavaScript for this...
basically popup a small window with the message you want and then continue
to the page that does the processing, then in the new page's BODY ONLOAD
handling, call a function to close that window....
here's what I'm thinking
----------------------------------------------------
<SCRIPT>
function callLoadMsg() {
indow.open('loadMsg.cfm','loadMsgWindow','width=400,height=200,toolbar=0,loc
ation=0,directories=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,menubar=0');
location = 'dowhatever.cfm';
}
</SCRIPT>
<A HREF="javascript:callLoadMsg();">THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME, MAYBE</A>
----------------------------------------------------
then the page that takes awhile to load:
----------------------------------------------------
<BODY ONLOAD="javascript:loadMsgWindow.close()">
----------------------------------------------------
I did this on-the-fly without testing, but the idea and the logic is
there....
or wait for CF5....
