Please Wait While Page Loads.... - ASP / Active Server Pages

Jason .

I have seen a few articles with a javascript example but it is not
working for me. The server side code is processed first and then the
javascript so I basically get my page loading splash screen displayed
for a split second and then my page I am navigating to.

How do I display the "Please Wait..." before the server side code kicks
in? Thanks.

Thanks. The example works great but when I apply it to my page I get a
blank page for a few seconds and then the "Please Wait..." appears for a
split second and then the rest of the page is displayed.

I need the Please Wait to appear as soon as the page is loaded, prior to
the server side script. It seems that the server side script is being
processed and then the message appears.

I have a bunch of database related calls and web services going on and
then I display the page. I put the Response.Flush right after the
"Please Wait" script. Should I be putting this at the top of the page?

the Resp.Write and Resp.Flush need to be FIRST, before the processing.

Why is your page so slow loading as to require a Please Wait message
in the first place?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
