Internet Explorer Progress Bar May Show Incorrect Status(Q293373)

[Guest]

In the KB293373
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;293373&Product=ie#appliesto), the following description is mentioned:

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem if you are building pages that use JavaScript
functions to retrieve page data, keep the user informed of what the browser
is doing by updating the progress bar with messages throughout your script.
When all of the information has been retrieved, inform the user through the
progress bar.

Who knows how to do "update the progress bar with messages"? Is there
somebody here have done with such problems?

 

[Guest]

using script in your web paage, you can update the progress (or
status) bar like this:

window.status = "This page is still loading ... please wait ...";

Thank you for the reply.

In this way, the message can be displayed in the status bar, but it looks
there is no change to the progress bar.

Actually, my problem is that the progress bar does not finish even though
the page is successfully loaded (instead of "100%", it increases slowly until
38%).
Do you think there is anyway to make the progressbar to 100%?
