Hi,

 

Can someone explain if the following is possible please...

 

I'm usign the excellent "dataTables" plugin for JQuery.  Upon entering a page, I'm loading 'about' 1000 records into the table.  While this is quick, it can take anything upto 3 seconds depending on internet speed, etc, etc.

 

What I'd like to do is show a Dialog box immediately upon entering the page just showing something simple like "Please Wait..."

 

No matter what I do though, the Dialog is showing AFTER the table has been populated.

 

If someone can shed some light on how I can...

 

a) Show Dialog box upon page loading

b) Populate the tables

c) Close the Dialog box when tables are loaded.

 

I'd really appreciate it.

 

Thanks,
