FWIW I've ended up using:
<%@ Control Language="c#" AutoEventWireup="false"
Codebehind="ProgIndicator.ascx.cs" Inherits="JSTimer.ProgIndicator"
TargetSchema="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5"%>
<div id="progtext" style="WIDTH: 224px; FONT-FAMILY: Impact; HEIGHT:
20px"></div>
<table style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none;
BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none"
cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0">
<tr>
<td id="progcell1" style="WIDTH: 10px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td style="WIDTH: 15px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td id="progcell2" style="WIDTH: 10px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td style="WIDTH: 15px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td id="progcell3" style="WIDTH: 10px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td style="WIDTH: 15px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td id="progcell4" style="WIDTH: 10px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td style="WIDTH: 15px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td id="progcell5" style="WIDTH: 10px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td style="WIDTH: 15px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td id="progcell6" style="WIDTH: 10px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td style="WIDTH: 15px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td id="progcell7" style="WIDTH: 10px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td style="WIDTH: 15px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td id="progcell8" style="WIDTH: 10px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td style="WIDTH: 15px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
<td id="progcell9" style="WIDTH: 10px; HEIGHT: 20px"></td>
</tr>
</table>
with the following JavaScript
:
var dots = 0;
function ShowWait() {
if((++dots)>9) dots=1;
for(var x=1; x<=9; x++) {
if(x==dots) document.getElementById('progcell'+x).style.backgr oundColor =
'Navy';
else document.getElementById('progcell'+x).style.backgr oundColor =
'SkyBlue'; }
}
function StartShowWait() {
progtext.style.visibility = 'visible';
progtext.innerText = 'Please wait - calculating...';
window.setInterval('ShowWait()',75);
ShowWait();
}
function HideWait(){
progtext.style.visibility = 'hidden';
divdisplay.style.visiblity = 'hidden';
window.clearInterval();
}
This javascript just gets emitted using RegisterStartupScript, along with a
call to the relevant function via the same, doesn't seem
to work if I embed the JavaScript functions in the page in design mode which
is what I wanted, however I've got
another clientside control so I might have it call it as it's the one that
triggers the long operation anyway
so it will be able to call this before it does a postback, which is what I
wanted.
