anyone have any idea as to how to display a message after a page has started loading??

Perhaps you wrap a table around your image and set the background="" of
the table to an image of the same size that says "Loading Thumbnails",
then when the image loads, it loads over the background.

I am looking for a way to say please wait generating thumbnails... while
actually doing so. I have tried calling the JavaScript alert() function
before starting the image processing but it waits for the page to
complete loading before displaying the alert box. anyone have any ideas
on this?? BTW: at the time I am trying to display a message I have
already started output to the browser.

Try looking up the flush() function on php.net. That _might_ do what you
want.

Also make sure you don't have output buffering or compression on for the
page in question.

Cheers,
Rob.
