I am having problems creating a progress bar on my website and was wondering if it is possible to open a new window and control the contents in that window from a parent window. For example...

When a user clicks a link on my page, I want that link to open a new browser window that says "Processing Request...". In the meantime I want the original window to start loading a new page. When the new page finishes loading I would like for it to close the "Processing Request..." page, which was acting somewhat like a progress bar.

What would really be nice is if I could change the messages in the "Processing Request..." page to say different things as the parent window gets closer to loading.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Jake
