Since I'm trying to learn JavaScript myself, I don't go too far in my research and testing, I hope you can help me. Thanks.

My problem is quite the same as people discussed in 20006- I need to pop up a WAITING message while a long running fex is working, so the user is informed with the waiting time and will not stop or cancel the job.

I failed in my test with a few samples in 2006 postings, partially is due to the XML in my html pages.
I successfully add a EDITED message text and use the ON-CLICK ... visibile...
However, it doesn't work good at all since the message stay on the screen.

I guess you can help me, providing me with a working/good sample to save my life.

I'm using the dev stuio 7.16, please help

Firstly, please update your signature with release and platform as per post on front page.

Secondly, if you want to start learning javascript then search for "ugly javascript" in google or your favorite search engine. It will give you a lot of the basics. I would advise learning and understanding those first before you try and play with extended stuff.

One problem with supplying "working/good sample" is that when it goes wrong, who will be supporting it.

The posts in 2006 to which you refer, all have sound methods and all work, but each one may be more suitable than another for a particular situation. Understanding the JS before you try these things will serve you better in the long term.

just a redirect page, a js-free zone.


-DEFAULT &PARM1    = 'LUCY' ;
-DEFAULT &PARM2    = 'RICKY ';
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<head> 
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT=" 0 ;URL=http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet?
IBIF_ex=fexname&|PARM1=&PARM1&|PARM2=&PARM2">
</head> 
<body >
<table width="100%" height="*"
style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" >
 <tr >
<td valign="middle" align="center" style="padding-top: 100">
 
Go out for coffee, this is gonna take a while
  
</TD></TR>
</table>
</body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END


After zero seconds (CONTENT="0 ...)
the page will redirect to the page called by the fex...while that fex is running, your 'go for coffee' message sits nicely on the screen
