waiting....

[gsc1ugs]

Hello All,

I have this function that gets results in a loop, when finished it returns true.

do

ret = returnFunction

loop while ret <> true


I would like to pop something on the screen like "Please wait or an animated gif" until the function retunrs true.

Many thanks

yes, i did this in asp!!

at the beginning of your page, just before you do
all your looping, show a layer with your gif or text,



do all your looping,

and after your looping is done,

hide your layer!!

if you need more info, just ask!!

ok, here's your function to hide and show your layer

function show(object)
{
	if(document.layers){
		document.layers[object].visibility="hidden";
		}
	else if(document.all){
		document.all[object].style.visibility = "hidden";
		}
	else if(document.getElementById){
		document.getElementById(object).visibility="hidden";
		}
	lastMenuItem=menuItem;
}

function hide(object)
{
	if(document.layers){
		document.layers[object].visibility="hidden";
		}
	else if(document.all){
		document.all[object].style.visibility = "hidden";
		}
	else if(document.getElementById){
		document.getElementById(object).visibility="hidden";
		}
}

so before your asp stuff, do:

put your layer :

<div id="layerName" style="position:absolute;width:175px;height:68px;left:0px;top:0px;visibility:visible;z-index:2">
<img src="images/radixh.gif" width="175" height="68" border="0">
</DIV>

and then show it

<script language="javascript">
show('layerName');
</script>
<%
do all you asp stuff heres

and after your asp looping

response.write "<script language=javascript>"
response.write "hide('layerName');"
response.write "</script>"

if you need more, just ask!!
