Sure you can...

All you need is a progress bar imitating gif file and place it in a <div> in your webpage, and hide it at page load. Now, when you want to execute the javascript function which you mentioned is time consuming, un-hide this <div>. You can hide it again once the execution of script is completed.

Else if you want to be more adventurous, you can create the progress bar magic using <div> and <span> tags alone, without the gif.

Dawn.

What progress bar are you talking about? The one which you wrote in JS or the browser's default one? You should not rely on the webbrowser used. Just let JS display/change some progress bar or the cursor style using HTML DOM and CSS.

Thanks for your reply, here i am talking about the web browser progress bar.

There you have completely no control over.

Play more with DOM/CSS.
