Slow ASP Page need GIF to Show

[Paul Bergson]

I have a basic asp page running that is very slow it has to crunch some info
and when a user hits submit it can take a minute or more for a response. So
what I did was call a second page that should show a gif that is asking them
to be patient. Unfortunately this never shows (See below). I have tried
other ways as well, but I have been unsuccessful in getting the gif to show.
This has to be simple but I'm not a skilled asp developer so I don;t know
how to do it. Anybody have any ideas?
<img src = "graphics/clockT.gif" />

<%Response.Redirect "aspTraceOut.asp?host=" & Request.QueryString("host")%>

Hi Paul,

You could try to set the buffer to true and jot a Response.Flush after
the image, that way the page forces the buffered output to the
browser. Like this:

<%Response.Buffer=True%>
<img src = "graphics/clockT.gif" />
<%Response.Flush()%>
<%Response.Redirect "aspTraceOut.asp?host="
&Request.QueryString("host")%>

HTH,
- Alex
