Hi all,

I am writing a page requests server to generate a big pdf document. The server takes a while to generate that pdf document. During that time, user sees the blank page at the browser. I'd like to put a text "Please wait..." instead of blank page when page is waiting for the server to finish its taks. Could you show me how this can be done??? Thanks alot.

one way would be to create a flash applet as a loading bar

so heres the example

Please Wait...
<-- Loading Bar -->

when the loading bar becomes full i opens the pdf file?

have you any knowledge of flash?
