Hi!

You can try something like that:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var secondsToWait=5;//change to no of seconds you like
function do_totals1(){
timeSet=window.setTimeout('timer1()',secondsToWait*1000);
}
function timer1(){
alert("Waited long enough");
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="do_totals1()">
</body>
</html>

Cheers - Pit

this is what it should look like i think

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="javascript">
<!--
var secondsToWait=5;
function do_totals1(){
document.all.pleasewaitScreen.style.pixelTop = (document.body.scrollTop + 50);
document.all.pleasewaitScreen.style.visibility="visible";
window.setTimeout('do_totals2()',secondstowait*1000);}
function do_totals2(){
lengthy_calculation();
document.all.pleasewaitScreen.style.visibility="hidden";}
function lengthy_calculation()
alert("You are done");}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body>
<DIV ID="pleasewaitScreen" STYLE="position:absolute;z-index:5;top:30%;left:42%;visibility:hidden">
<TABLE BGCOLOR="#000000" BORDER="1" BORDERCOLOR="#000000" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" HEIGHT="100" WIDTH="150" ID="Table1"><TR>
<TD WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" BGCOLOR="silver" ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="MIDDLE">

Hi!

Mine was just to show you the usage of the setTimeout.
Your's has a few small typos. Try something like that:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="javascript">
<!--
var secondsToWait=5;
function do_totals1(){
document.all.pleasewaitScreen.style.pixelTop = (document.body.scrollTop + 50);
document.all.pleasewaitScreen.style.visibility="visible";
window.setTimeout('do_totals2()',secondsToWait*1000);}
function do_totals2(){
lengthy_calculation();
document.all.pleasewaitScreen.style.visibility="hidden";}
function lengthy_calculation() {
alert("You are done");}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<DIV ID="pleasewaitScreen" STYLE="position:absolute;z-index:5;top:30%;left:42%;visibility:hidden">
<TABLE BGCOLOR="#000000" BORDER="1" BORDERCOLOR="#000000" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" HEIGHT="100" WIDTH="150" ID="Table1"><TR>
<TD WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" BGCOLOR="silver" ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="MIDDLE">
<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="4" COLOR="blue"><B>Calculating<br>Please Wait</B></FONT>
</TD></TR></TABLE></DIV><p align="center">
<input type="button" name="btn_calc" value="Perform Calculation" onclick="do_totals1()">
</p>
</body>
</html>
