I used a little javascript to reveal a message, then submit the form.
Hence the message stays there until the next page loads:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function checkFields(fieldNames, displayText) {
//etc...
if(ok)
document.all.please_wait.innerHTML="Storing data -
please wait";
return ok
}
-->
</SCRIPT>
...
<input type="image" onclick=" return checkFields()"
src="images/next_button.gif" name="next" border="0" value="submit"
alt="Next">
<span id="please_wait"></span>
Not that it's PHP, but it works...

Subject: "Please wait" page while processing
Hi folks -
I'm writing a checkout.
When user submits their card details, I want to redirect
them to page with a "please wait" message. Then redirect to
the script that does the payment processing. Then when I
have the response from the gateway, redirect again to the
result page.
form -> message -> processor -> result_page
I've seen this done but I can't figure out how.
The browser (IE) simply shows the initial card details form
until the processing is complete, then shows the final
result page. I can't get it to show the message page in the
middle.
Any suggestions would be welcome!
