:
: 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!
