Clear Screen

[Anon]

Hi
I have a script where:

1) The user fill a form and submit
2) The script validate the data
3) If wrong it shows the form again with error messages
4) If OK it sends a "Wait please" screen.
include("waitplease.html");
flush();
5) Process the queries (some times a long process)
6) Show another screen with te results
include("result.html");
exit();

The problem is:
When it sends the waitplease.html the browse clear the screen and show "Wait Please"
But when the script sends the second .html, the screen is not cleared and the second .html goes below the first one.

Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Instead of loading the results like that, try putting a redirector between some script tags (slightly broken HTML but it still works)

echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"Javascript\">
document.location.href='results.html';
</SCRIPT>";

That will make the browser refresh the window with the results you would like without the Please Wait info..

This is a perfect solution.
I made:

include("wait.html");
....
....
Process and query
....
....
echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"Javascript\"> document.location.href='result.php3'; </SCRIPT>";
exit();

Thanks a lot
