How Do They Do This....

Processing Data Windows

[bscott3125]

I've seen this done before but have never seen a version that worked with both IE and Netscape. If you go to www.cheaptickets.com and do a Hotel search for example you will see a processing window.

We need to do something like this for a realestate site we are working on. How in the world are they doing this? Please any examples would most excellent.

Thanks,
Brent

the processing page refreshes itself every 5 seconds.

my guess is that when the page refreshes it checks to see if the processing has finished. if it has, it goes to the results page, otherwise it displays the processing page again.

the page is doing something on the server (executing an ASP or CF or JSP script) that controls the redirection - delivering the processing page or the results page as appopriate
