[Javascript] Question - Page Load Feedback

[shawn.milo at gmail.com (Shawn Milo)]

Oh. Well, if you're concerned with the speed, maybe you can put some
text or a graphic that says "loading," and show it and hide the links
when a link is clicked.

Possibly with divs, by setting one to a style of display: none and the
other display: block in the onclick() of the links.

This is me assuming that what you're saying is that people click on
the link, nothing appears to happen for several seconds, and they
think the link did nothing. If I'm wrong, please clarify. For me, the
response was very fast, but I'm sure the stars won't always align to
produce that result.
