Steal as you need -- I did.
Thanks. I'll check that out. I'm still wondering, though, how the
redirection works if it is supposed to occur only before any text appears in
the <BODY>.
Don't confuse yourself -- it's simpler than your trying to make it.
You show the wait gif in the preceding (or current) page and it's not
a redirect.
It's simply:
1) The user enters a bunch of data and hits submit;
2) The form then sends that data to the server;
3) The form sticks around showing you a wait gif until the server
responds with a new page.
4) You don't need a wait gif for the new page.
OR
I use javascript to pre-process the data and do basically the same thing.
Here's a *required* entry form using javascript.

If the calculations in the background are significant with respect to
time, then I would throw up a wait gif instead of an alert.
However, I seldom write anything that takes that much time -- so it's
usually a moot point.
Here's another example:

I haven't seen too many forms that get more complex than that and the
computations there are instant -- so what's the point of a wait gif
in form processing?
