Splash message whilst main page loads

[Grant Berkeley]

I'm after a script that writes a message on the screen and then disappears
when the page has loaded.

ie: please hang on - page loading etc etc to keep the punter amused #8-)

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good script for this??

TIA

Grant

Unless you want animated text (which will take download time, etc...),
you can do that the easy way:
Put a layer on top of everything on the page, give it a nice background
color, add the text in it.
Select the body tag, add behavior "Show/hide layer" and make the layer
"hide" and to be executed "onLoad". You can also use the extension
called "Layout designer 2" from [url]www.projectseven.com[/url] to center the layer.
