Hi - I have a page with an outer navigation table that is html with css styles. I have a content area that is within a div. I have another div that contains some 'Loading...' text. The content takes several seconds to retreive all the data from the database therefore I want the Loading please wait to be on screen whilst it does this. I achieve this via a
js function that swaps the visibility of the two divs. Simple enough and FF 1.5 does it with ease. But does IE? :( IE wants to make sure EVERYTHING is loaded before it will display anything. Including the top and side nav. If Loading... div is placed outside the main table, just after the <body> tag, it works perfectly in IE. Obviously the text is in the wrong place, but it is what I want to happen, except the loading text should be in the content area, as in what happens with FF.
Any help or guidence or suggestions in this would be great. I am thinking of switching to a completely CSS driven structure, but that is a radical rethink for this site and I want to see what other options I have. Cheers
