Hello,
I have the following questing:
At a point I want to present a list depending on a very large search.
First I got a timeout from PHP, so I got the PHP to take longer before giving a timeout using : set_time_limit (300);

But now, there is allways a result, but it takes so long that the users are getting inpatients because they see no activity.

Is there a way to show that the page is being processed?
Some kind of progress indication, other then the page loading indicator from the browser?

Using CCS 1.0.7, PHP and MySQL.

Thx.

hi,

add a piece of javascript that opens a popup when you click on search or the link from wich you go the the result grid in the head section:
function newWindow()
{

newWindow=window.open("processing.php","sub1","HEIGHT=310,WIDTH=400")

}
in the html search button code add something like onclick="newWinow();submit()"
The popup could show text(processing!!) or an animated gif of some kind.

now you all you have to do is make a function that checks if the newWindow is open and that will close it if it is when the parent is loaded.

Hi Ron,

This solution makes sence.
I am not realy good in Javascript.
Guess that I would have to activate this close activity window function
at events->server->before show or events->client->onload.
However, I have no idea how to do that.
Would appreciate if you have another hint ;-)

Thx.
