I have a question on designing a please wait aspx page.
Currently I have a test.aspx page with codebehind page and
page_onload contains my stored procedure calls. I've
create something similar in old asp so I've try similiar
method and I sort of got it work however my please wait
message gets display the same time as my data so is there
a way to display what's in my <div> tag first, then
executed page_onload for my stored procedure calls.
Lastly, my javascript call is working to hide the <div>
tag at the end of my page.. Thanks.

Joe,

An excellent way to handle a long page load is to use multithreading in your
app.

I have links to two excellent tutorials, one in VB and one in C#, on my
website, www.aboutfortunate.com. Just search the code library for something
like: "multithread web app" or something like that.

Sincerely,
