slow loading message or hour glass

[Bonnie]

Hi,

I am kind of new to Frontpage so please be gentle.

I have a web page with another page embedded in a table - it loads kind of
slow but other works for our purposes - can anyone tell me how to show either
a loading message or an hour glass to let the user know that the page is
coming?

Thanks,

Bonnie

If it's that slow you should be fixing it so it loads faster...no one's
gonna wait.
Not sure what you mean by; "another page embedded in a table..."

Can you show us the web page...post a link.

Sorry, I can't show it because I haven't completed and uploaded it yet. It's
an iframe with the page. I told you I was new to frontpage - I wanted the
page to load on the original site page instead of a pop up page.

Is there a way to put an interim message while it is loading?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hi Rob,

I published the site - it's www.completerealtyga.com if you have a minute to
look at it. The page that is so slow is LOAN CENTER.

Thanks,

Bonnie

How quick does the page load when you remove the Mortgage 101 content Iframe?

Very quickly.

Ok, then the only option you have is to create a link to the Mortgage 101 content instead of loading
the content into an IFrame.

I understand. I'm still curious, is there no way to show an hour glass or
message while a page is loading if I choose to?

Thanks,

Bonnie

All of the script that I came across must be inserted on the page that is loading, and in your case,
the page is from a 3rd party site.

Here is one script:

Yup, sounds right.

Thanks for taking the time though.
