When doing a search on this forum, there's a screen that appears while the search is in progress, something like"

Search in Progress-Please wait for results"

which then disappears when the results page is displayed.

I'm trying to do the same thing, in Perl.

Any ideas on how to do this?

:confused:

All you need to do is have your search form page, then, when the user presses 'Submit' you push the 'Please wait' page out to the user, then you do your serach, then you write the search results page. Nothing special about it really.

Do you know of any examples in Perl. I can push out a wait page, but the results appear below the wait message instead of the wait message page being replaced by the results page.

Thanks
