Re: Page is Loading message...
This is something that we use where I work:
cfparam name=url.directory default=
cfparam name=url.page default=
cfparam name=url.queryString default=
cfparam name=speed default=5000
html
head
titlePlease Wait.../title
script language=JavaScript
var URL = cfoutput#basehref#/#url.directory#cfif
Trim(url.directory) NEQ //cfif#url.page#?#url.queryString#/cfoutput;
var speed = cfoutput#speed#/cfoutput;
function reload() {
location = URL
}
setTimeout(reload(), speed);
/script
/head
body
div align=center
table width=640 border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0
tr
td align=center vAlign=middle width=100% height=480

Just cfinclude this on the calling page. For instance, we use this on a
login page. While you are being logged in, we show a small flash movie that
says, Loggin In, Please Wait. It has a little animation so that the users
know that someting is happening.

Hello,
I have several CF templates that take quite some time to process.
Can someone tell me how I can include an animated gif to display 'Page
is loading' while the template is being processed so that the page
visitors don't have to stare at a blank screen while it is being
processed?
A pop-up window displaying the same message would work just fine also...
Thanks!
Peter Bagnato

That is a MS'ism that won't work in other browsers, the standard way is
to use getElementById(). If you must support non-conforming browsers
(e.g. Opera) use:
script type=text/javascript
if(document.getElementById) {
document.getElementById('PleaseWaitMessage').style.display='none';
}
else {
document.all.PleaseWaitMessage.style.display='none';
}
/script

Actually just the first is needed (you don't need the else, I believe,
as IE unstands both syntaxs).
So, basically, just use getElementById and you should be all set for
most modern browsers.
