Request Processing Page? Like an "in-between" page...

[Roy]

Anyone have any links and/or code samples demonstrating how this can be
done? Current procedure is that john doe clicks an item on a datagrid
and after however long, gets the info he wants.

What I want to do is have a page that pops up "in-between" the two
pages. Something that says "Processing Request: Please Wait" or
somesuch. I'd prefer to have a progress bar or something as well.
Anyone have any links/samples?

Thanks.

One approach I've seen was using frames. The "progress" page was in one
frame at set to 100%. There was an animated GIF to display the
progress. The "hidden" frame (sized at 0%) did the work on once it
returned a result would redirect the browser to the results page.
