FN-FORUM: Creating a "Please wait..." page

date posted 1st August 2006 12:55

Morning all!

Right, I am building an expedia type website, where you can build a
holiday by selecting dates, num passengers, etc.. and then clicking
proceed. The next page then carries out searches to find available
flights, and the page after that does the same for available hotels.

The problem is that these pages take a while to load as there are some
quite hefty MySQL queries being done mid-page....

I am wondering if there is a way of putting a small
popup/alertbox/window saying please wait while we search the system
type thing, which detects when the page is fully loaded and then
disappears?

Many thanks!
