A better way is to use the HTTP Refresh header. Remove the Javascript from the above example, and add:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.addHeader('Refresh', '0;URL=http://server/slow_page')">
This is a sweet solution (I'm guessing you meant to write "RESPONSE.addHeader...") The only thing I don't like about it is that the user cannot use his browser's back button without becoming "trapped". When he hits the back button, the "please wait" page is loaded which immediately redirects him to the page he was just on (i.e. the slow page). Is there some way to remove the "please wait" page from the Browser's history list so that the Back button works as expected? -- Ed Goppelt
