Yes, That's what I was using, however nothing got displayed to the screen until after the page had loaded....so I thought maybe it was a problem with not enough buffered data had accumulated to push out to the browser.
Has anyone built a JSP/JDBC loading screen?

For example, I have a JSP page that returns many rows from a database via JDBC. While it's fetching the rows it takes a while for the page to load. During that time I'd like to have the page display a message saying "Please wait while the page loads". I tried to do something with JavaScript that displays a message Body onLoad and then it goes away when the page finishes loading, but it didn't work. Any ideas on a way I could do this with JSP? Maybe something with the buffer?
