You also need to use those layer thingies with DHTML or whatever...
I archived a sample somewhere...
Ah, here it is:
(This is somebody else's code, not mine)
============[ code ]============
<HTML>
..<header and stuff>...
<BODY onload="
if (IE) {
wait.style.display = 'none';
} else {
document.layers['wait'].visibility='hidden';
}">
<DIV style="position: absolute;
left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;
cursor: wait;" id="wait">
<TABLE border="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<TR>
<TD width="100%" valign="middle" align="center">
One moment please...
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Loading directory listing
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</DIV>
..<the rest of the page (reason of wait screen) >...
</BODY>
</HTML>
==========[ end code ]==========
NOTE:
You should change 'if (IE)' to something usefull. If you just
copy/paste this code, you'll get a javascript-error because IE isn't
defined (it is on my site, :-)).
