Put the line: Response.Buffer = False at the top of your ASP page:
Response.Buffer=False
<!DOCTYPE etc, etc>
<html>
<head>....</head>
<body>
<h1>header</h1>
other text
<%
processing
%>
Done!
The user will see the header and "other text". That will show while
the processing is being done, then the "Done!" will display.
