   My original idea was to set a frame in top that would control all others, 
but after reading Hakam[1] I saw that it was not going to work very well....

   But I still believe that in this case it's "Mozilla's PopUp Blocker" user's 
fault, not the webmaster's...

[1]Quoting Hakan M. <hakan at backbase.com>:
>I wouldn't recommend using one of the dreaded popup windows for your 
>loading sign anyway. Mozilla users will block it, and the script won't work.
