[RESOLVED] loading image for php page

eheia

This is probably covered somewhere, but i can't find it, and maybe should also be posted in 'coding' but i'll start here.

I have a form page that customers fill out and when they submit, the php script can take up to 30 seconds to fully load and then redirect them to the thank you page. Is there a way i can show some sort of flash or animated gif that says 'loading...' while the script is being processed?

thanks.

This is actually for ClientSide Technologies, because it can be done using javascript.

When the user submit u send him to a page where your uplaod script is and load a gif that read (Loading ...), and a javascript at the end of the script with window.onload that make's the redirect to the thank you page after the page successfully loaded ...

is it using the onclick=show() function?
But where is the show () function ?

You need to check the head of his source code. there is a script referenced there, something like mobtex.com/javascript.js or some such thing. then you need to disect that code and get the 20 or so lines that pertain to the hidden div layer.
