progress bar
i have 2 cgi pages
a button on test1.cgi
when user clicks on button user is directed to test2.cgi
problem is test2.cgi takes 20 to 30 sec to execute, and the browser shows test1.cgi for those 20 secs.....this can be a bad impression on the user, he might think nothing is happening...
is there a way i can show a progress bar displaying some message.....
