put all the content of your page into a hidden div (or layer for netscape),
and create another div or layer with the word "loading" in it.  Then in your
body onload handler hide the div which says "loading" and display the other
div.

Subject: [javascript] Loading, please wait... (need this)


I'm looing for a JavaScript that when my web site starts loading from the 
browser, a message will pop up or show up in the opening page that says:




                  Loading...


   Once the page is loaded, this message disappears.

   
   I'm only concerned with when the initial page is being loaded as my 
first page is somewhat large and I can't cut anything out or make smaller 
images, etc.
