[Javascript] Question - Page Load Feedback

[mdougherty at pbp.com (Mike Dougherty)]

Our intranet runs on a dedicated IIS server - we just turned the timeouts up.

We don't use xmlhttp on our intranet - didn't know about that when we built it.  We just have ASP 
sending SQL requests via ADO that wait for the data from the DB then output html.  Some of the 
later dhtml-inspired activities use client-side ADO to talk directly from the browser to the SQL 
server.  If I had it to do over, I would be using xmlhttp and not forcing those forms into IE only 
(ADO activeX) and inherent security & scalability problems.
