Ok first you display your progress indicator:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;img name=&quot;progressMeter&quot; src=&quot;../images/aniProgress<wbr />Meter.gif&quot;<wbr /> alt=&quot;Please wait.&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br />
Then do your XML crap.<br />
<br />
Then you replace the progress indicator with this:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;script Language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;&gt;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; document.progressMeter.src<wbr /> = &quot;./images/blank.gif&quot;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;/script&gt;<br />
<br />
Then you forward them to the new page:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;script Language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; location.replace(&quot;myNewPag<wbr />e.asp&quot;)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;script&gt; 
</div>

The problem I am seeing with this solution is the server process the entire script before it returns anything to the browser. So it does not try and display the graphic untill the XML request has been sent and received.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am connection to a web service using &nbsp;Server.CreateObject(&quot;MSXML<wbr />2.ServerXM<wbr />LHTTP&quot;). I need a way to show a graphic or text while this process is taking place. Something like &quot;Please wait while your request is being processed&quot;. Is this possible in ASP? Thanks!

ASP Progress Indicator

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.
