How to make a Loading Page

I have a webpage, lots of javascript that i pulled from various places,
the menu script pre-loads about 50 small images, it only takes about 5
seconds for broadband but for lower band connections i really dont want
someone stuck in nether internet because the site's pre-loading a bunch
of images.

Ive seen lots of flash sites have a pre-loading page, with a status
message.

My question is..

Whats an easy way to do something like this.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds to me like you have produced a completely useless page, at least
for those who keeps that Javadribble shut off.

I'm curious about how long that page takes to load, what's the URL? I have a
solution in mind but you would need Dreamweaver, do you have it?

If this isn't what you wanted then come back and I'll offer you an
alternative, in any event let me know how you fare. Install the following DW
extension named "Preload Images with Status Bar and Redirect V1.01". If
you've never installed an extension you may (will?) also need the Extension
Manager:
Good Luck,
me
