Re: [Dynapi-Help] How to load/refresh w/out seeing it in the browser busy icon

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

danged email went out blank again.. grrr..

Anyways, I believe that the asker wanted to _hide_ the client-server comm
from the user.

nfl.com's behavior was submitted as an example of the preferred behavior.

I have no advice in this area. All I can recall is having used frames in the
past for this..

Also keep in mind the possibility (or even likelihood) that nfl.com uses
java or active-x for communications.
Or even could use the built in XML support in IE.
