How does one check the progress of the file loading?<br />
<br />
Setup..<br />
User clicks link on web page to open Excel file in a new browser window.<br />
File sizes can be 2MB + . Over a crappy connection they could take 10-20 seconds to load.<br />
<br />
Looking to do...<br />
Pop another window (gets focus) that has a static image that says something like &quot;Loading....This could take up to a minute.&quot;<br />
Once the Excel file is loaded into the new window, signal the popup window to close.<br />
