Answer 1

There is something wierd with your logic...

Unless the createBar function takes time and exits when the &quot;work&quot; is done, your code won&#039;t work as expected. You&#039;re looking for an &quot;event based&quot; code, but your writing procedural (e.g. sequential) code.

Two possibilities:

1- Split your code on 2 PHP pages: 1st page will display a progress bar, then upon completion, will display the 2nd page once the work is done.

2- Use AJAX to do some work, then update a DIV with the innerHTML function to write stuff when your work is done.

On the other hand, if you createBar function DOES exit when the work is done, then you&#039;re on the right track. Write something like this:

&lt;div id=&quot;result&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;script&gt;

var myDIV = document.getElementById(&#039;result&#039;);

myDIV.innerHTML = &#039;&lt;img src=&quot;progress.jpg&quot;&gt;&#039;;

/* DO STUFF HERE */

myDIV.innerHTML = &#039;Work Complete!!&#039;;

&lt;/script&gt;

Good luck!

Answer 2

your code already looks a little strange...missing some characters and things.  what are you trying to do?

Answer 3

Can you give us the complete script...including the function createBar()?

That way we can see what your arguments are based on.

Answer 4

if (bar2.visibility=&#039;visible&#039;)
