PLEASE WAIT MESSAGE
Posted: Fri Nov 24, 2006 10:01 am
Hi:
I'm looking for ideas about having a "please wait image" show up in my result page for a specified amount of time.
Basically I want to have my sponsor's ads display for several seconds before I show the requested information ... which is an image from our database.
The PHP code creates a table with a Search Results Display Cell in the middle of the table.. the other cells are ads.
I would like to display the "Please wait!" message in the center cell.. (preferably an animated image)
then let the ads show up and after 5 or so seconds.. replace the Please wait message with the image from their search request.
So to recap... I want to delay the search result to let the advertisers have more show time... and then TA DA.. the results of the search displays.
I'm using a mysql database. I execute php code to generate the results table from an html form that gets the details of the user's request.
I want to avoid any JAVA if I can. but I'll consider any suggestion.
Thanks
