Hi:
Because of some great help from Denis McMahon last March, I've been
showing / sorting big tables with no problem
The only problem I have is displaying a 'Waiting for Sort to Complete
...' message on the screen during the interval that sorting is taking place.
The 'Wait' Message *does* display if I follow it with an Alert()
message. Otherwise, it does *not* display.
Is there some other way to *force* this following function to display ??
// **** here is the 'wait' message function ****
function showwaitmsg() {
var el = document.getElementById("sorttext")
el.style.color="white";
el.style.background="red" ;
el.value = " Sorting ... " ; // in IE7 and also Chrome, this doesn't
display UNLESS you show an alert() message first
return ;
}
// **** end of wait message function ****
Thanks for any hints provided !
