I have two dropdowns that take a few seconds to populate (they are
populated from a remote database, but the connection to the database is
not the best).
Is it possible to put a 'Loading...' message into the dropdownlist which
will show by default, and then will disappear when the dropdown is
populated?
Maybe this could be done through javascript or otherwise?
thanks.

Not unless you are populating it via javascript. You can put anything you
want in it on the server - but since the HTML isn't going to get to the
browser until you finish retrieving all the data anyway, the user isn't
going to see the dropdown until then anyway.

I am populating it via javascript...
I have two dropdowns, County and District, that are populated using
javascript so that when County changes, District will also change
without having to reload the page.
Any chance you could show me how to add the 'loading' message in if I'm
pre-populating using javascript?

One idea is to populate it with just 'loading...' on the server, and then on
the client populate it with the real data. so it will start out with
'loading...' and then end up with the real data.

Hi,
I'm hoping for a bit of advise-- I have a (relatively, from the
point-of-view of this dilettante) complex script that attempts to preload
certain images in order to trigger one of a series of six slideshows
(rather than try to articulate, have a look here):
http://www.slack.net/~stacey/stestbed/homejs.jsp
Clicking any of the six blocks of text along the sides will begin a loop
of the corresponding slideshow.

I've seen on some php forums that they use some type of popup box that
I assume is javascript to display a animated gif/flash when you do a
quick edit. My popup blocker does not detect it so I leads me to
believe it is javascript. Does anyone have an ideas on how I can do
this or an example/tutorial? They use it on Invision Power Boards

There's a problem with what is displayed on a tab in my UI. At first,
it's a message, "loading...". Then it should be replaced with the

Now the issue is that it takes a long time before the message
"loading..." is replaced by file name. In my debugger, the switch
between "loading..." and file name happens AFTER the last line of code

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,...
