Hi,

I am using 5 linked chain list boxes in my HTML page. Each list box gets the value from same master file.

There are huge volume of records present in my master file, so it takes time to filter and populate the records in list box.

For Eg: If I select one value from "Listbox1", the corresponding values in "Listbox2" takes 1 to 2 mins to load.
During the time of record loading I need some wait or spinner like image to display.

Please help me where I can place the appropriate javascript in HTML page?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Kumaravel.M

I would consider any loadtime over 10 seconds to be unacceptable. Even 10 seconds is a very long time...
Try to have the values for the listboxes ready in a separate (set of) database(s). That would speed up the load time and you would not need a please wait message...
BTW: there are enough posts in this forum that tell you how to put up a please wait message.

Then reduce what data your combo boxes need to traverse.

Try just extracting the unique combinations of values from your data into a separate file (as per GamP)

TABLE FILE somefile
BY combobox1value
BY combobox2value
BY combobox3value
BY combobox4value
BY combobox5value
ON TABLE SET HOLDLIST PRINTONLY
ON TABLE HOLD AS COMBODAT FORMAT XFOCUS INDEX etc. etc.
END
