Report Data Page - "pop-up while loading"

[rswyatt]

Good afternoon.

I have a data report page that takes some time to load.

Normally I would put a

loadPopup = window.open(.....)

at the beginning of the page and a

loadPopup.close();

at the end of the page. This normally works without issues.

Here is the problem - in the middle of the master page I'm calling an IFRAME which runs the functions to get the report data. It is the IFRAME page that I'm waiting for.

Ok - so why couldn't I do the above in the IFRAME? I don't know - won't work...

My overall question is - how can I get a "Please wait while loading" to work in the master page and have it automagically close when my IFRAME is finally done loading. I've tried everything I can think of. Any thoughts?
