Hey guys,I've seen on some websites, where they have a box that comes up that says something like"one moment please" while the page is loading, then disappears when the page is done loadinganyone know how this is done? thanks

Simply put the message at the start of the body and with "onload" execute a script that will remove it from the DOM tree. Scince there's no DOM tree before the whole document is loaded, the message will be hidded after the page has finished loading.There's a bit of a problem for accessability here though. With JavaScript turned off, the message will remain after the page has finished loading.

the only pages i've seen that look like that are redirect pages (which aren't actually waiting for the page to load) and flash pages......i'd be interested to see a non-flash preloader.love,jason
