likely a simple request

[Julian McMaster]

I have a asp.net page using web forms that is working fine. A few of the
fields are loading data from a database, so it takes a few seconds to load.
My boss wants to have a simple HTML table with a "please wait while data
loads..." text message to display until the form is fully loaded...then
disappear and display the main form. What's the best method to accomplish
this? I have some ideas from the asp days, but I'd like to know from the
..net gurus if there's a better way now.

Thanks,
Julian M.
