Progress Bar/Dot

I have an web application. It take about 1-2 min. to run. I want to have an javascript that can show a series of "." on browser when the application running. I have tried it by using the setTimeout function. However, it only display only 1 dot. Besides,it clear the screen.

Is it possible to keep the current screen and don't clear the screen?

I recoment you to create a animated gif with a simulated progress bar. It should be the easiest and more compatible way to do what you want. Yo can also do it with DHTML, but I recommend you an animated gif.

CJ_S - That looks good.

cstsang - what language is your web application coded in? You might be able to create a progress bar in your application and remove the need for a script/gif.
