Hi,

I have a problem and i need some help.

I have a page where user enters the personal information and credit card details.

when he hits submit it runs the credit card and dumps the information into the table.

What i want to do is when the user hits submit button i want to show a page where it says processing.

right now i have my form tag like this

<form method="POST" name="frm1" id="frm1" action="confirmadd.asp" onsubmit="return formCheck(this);">

can someone tell me how i can make it happen.

in confirmadd.asp have this code on top of your code:

Code:

Response.Write("<div id=""pnlPleaseWait"">Processing request, please wait...</div>")
Response.Flush

then after the heavy code finished running, have this code:

Code:

Response.Write("<script type=""text/javascript""> document.getElementById(""pnlPleaseWait"").style.display = ""none""; </script>")
Response.Flush

shadow,

thanks for your help.

I tried ur code I tweaked it a little to add a image

Code:

Response.Write("<div id=""pnlPleaseWait""><img src=/images/Loading.gif>Your Request is Processing...<br/> do not press Back button.</div>")

and then after the credit card processing is finished

I have this code

Code:

Response.Write("<script type=""text/javascript""> document.getElementById(""pnlPleaseWait"").style.display = ""none""; </script>")
Response.Flush

what happens is it always shows me the earlier code which has the image in it.

any idea because once the credit card is processed i want to see the rest of the page.

Ok i found out what the problem is

I have the code like this

Code:

Response.Write("<div id=""pnlPleaseWait""><img src=/images/Loading.gif>Your Request is Processing...<br/> do not press Back button.</div>")
Response.Flush


---- do credit card processing  ---

Response.Write("<script type=""text/javascript""> document.getElementById(""pnlPleaseWait"").style.display = ""none""; </script>")
Response.Flush

Now i see if the credit card did go through or it was decline

If Result=0 then

"Credit card went through

Else
"credit card didnt go through"

Response.Redirect("decline.asp")
End if

if the credit card didnt go through it will redirect to decline.asp

but right now if the credit card is decline it doesnt redirect to the decline.asp page it just shows a blank page.

any idea

after using Flush you can't Redirect.. doing so will result in error.
since Flush is essential for what you need here, you have two main options:

use client side redirect instead of Response.Redirect
use AJAX instead of two pages like now
