javascript thread: User interface notification of an event


Message #1 by "Dan Caron" <dancaron@w...> on Mon, 3 Dec 2001 22:43:22
Hi and thanks in advance for your help. My goal is to let the user of my 
website know that some processing is occurring. I have a form where a user 
selects some options and then submits it. The return resultant is a file 
download dialog which can take 10 to 20 seconds before it appears. I would 
like to change the mouse cursor or some other indication while this 
processing is happening. I've been able to change the parent window to 
indicate processing is occurring and that works nice but once the file 
download dialog appears I cannot figure out how to restore the original 
contents of the parent window or just delete the parent window altogether. 
Also I have no direct control of the file download dialog box, if I did I 
could simply delete the parent window.  Any direction would be greatly 
appreciated.
