Creating A "Loading......" Page - How?

liunx · Jan 9, 2008

I have a web page which takes quite a while to load and would therefore like to present the user with a "Loading....." page until the page is actually available. Does anyone know how this can be implemented? 
 
I just want a plain HTML page with the text "LOADING.....". 
 
Thanks very much.Here is 14U

You can hide the page until it is fully loaded. Just show a loading message. 
The script at the end of the page executes at the end of the load. You can 
also put the the script in the head as a function and call the function 
with the onload event in the body tag: 
 
<html> 
<style> 
#formstuff { position: absolute; visibility: hidden;} 
#Waitmsg { position: absolute; visibility: visible;} 
</style> 
</head> 
<body> 
 
<div id="Waitmsg"> 
Loading will take a few moments, please wait... 
</div> 
<div id="formstuff"> 
... all the page content goes here 
</div> 
<script> 
 
</script> 
 
 
</body> 
</html>
