[Javascript] [OT ]popup window close

[Peter Brunone]

   How about a modification of 

http://aspalliance.com/peterbrunone/pleasewait.asp 

?  It works in IE4+, NS4/6/7, and the Mozilla family.

  For your situation, you'd just want to start it out hidden and when the submit button clicks, show the div.  It will be gone when the next page loads.

Cheers,

Peter
