Progress bar problem

[Raed Sawalha]

Dear:

I need to make some progress action when doing long running task to inform
user that something is happening, so I did the following:

1. download a gif file that do some download animation.
2. in my aspx page add DIV and put the image inside it and make it runat
server with initial display as none.
3. in page load for send button i did
btnSend.Attribu tes["onclick"] = "return SwapButton()"
4. in client side of page the SwapButton function
function SwapButton()
{
divProgress.sty le.display = 'block'; //Display progress image
oButton = document.getEle mentById('btnSe nd');
if(oButton != null)
oButton.style.d isplay = 'none' //hide send button
}

5 . and at the end of OnClick function of btnSend on codebehind i did
btnSend.Attribu tes["DISPLAY"] = "block"
divProgress.Att ributes["DISPLAY"] = "none"

the PROBLEM i have that the animated gif image is not doing the animation
work , it is freezed , WHY?
what should I do to let the animated gif appears animated?

Best Regards

when IE does a get/post, it normally stops the background thread that
implements the animation. you need to use the meta tag to poll for results
if you want the gif to work.
