<DIV><SPAN class=593233112-23052007><FONT face=Arial size=2>i have  a page
quite heavy in content: it's a summary page in  a CMS, so i cannot really
reduce anymore the dom (like splitting or paging content), so i would like to
introduce some page transition, like a "loading" screen, for instance, or an
intermediary screen giving some kind of smoother feel to the user
experience. Here is my question:  </FONT></SPAN><SPAN
class=593233112-23052007><FONT face=Arial size=2> what would be the best
way to hide the page with a "loading" screen until the dom is fully loaded and
rendered by the browser?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=593233112-23052007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think jqModal
could do that, or blockUI, but i'm more puzzled on the right javascript events
to use and how to organize them in time.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
