Intermediate Waiting Page

Creating a flight booking system in MX7. Starting from a form on the start page, the action transfers the details to the next page where the form fields are input into a cfxml component which is then sent to the Web Server waiting for a response.

The system sits at the start page which holds the form. that does nothing for the client. It would be much better if I could make the action go to an interim waiting page, with a sales message on it, and then when the web server response is ready - then the results page comes up. Sitting at the Form page without any change in aspect isn't very user friendly.

Any ideas would be appreciated - thanks.

    Check out <CFFLUSH> at http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=part_cfm.htm
    You place your displayable text, images, etc at the top of the page, then do a CFFLUCH to display it, then call your Web server.
