How display page only after loaded - delaying page until fully loading
Hi,
All I want to do is stop web pages from displaying in the browser until they have fully loaded, so that instead of the user seeing each part of the page loading they see a blank page and then suddenly the whole page appears. I've been searching for the answer for days.....can this really be that difficult?
Dave.
P.S. Any suggestions at all are very welcome

ori,
I don't know if you'll welcome this suggestion, but if you have an NT server simply make the page an *.asp page. It compiles the page on the server and gives the client the finished page.
I'm sure there's a way to do this with CGI/Perl to, I'm just not a Unix expert.

For many browsers just surrounding the content with several tables does the trick.

I have achieved this effect using DHTML. I could only make it work in IE4.
What I did was:-
-create a blank page
-store your document information in a javascript string eg. HTML
-once the page has loaded, then write the string to a <SPAN>
If you would like further explanation please email me
