Hi, Merve,
Appreciate your reply, but your solution is not what I am looking for. The news feed is a combination of php xml and rss. Basically I have these in a file, and include it where I want the feed to appear. What I want is to give visitors a choice to skip the news feed if the loading is very slow (it happens a lot), or the fee is not available at all. I would like to have a page to show a clickable button while loading. If the button is clicked, the visitor set a session variable value which is used to control if the news feed file is to be included or not. The duration of this loading page is the length of the time needed to load the target page. In another word, a visitor may not see it at all if the target page is loaded instantly. It would be ideal if I could set a minimum number of seconds before the loading page is shown.
Paul
