Showing A Waiting Image While The Page.Load event does its stuff?
<p>I have a page that on page load exectutes a lot of methods.. A few ping off and grab some external pages and strip out content to display etc.. etc..</p>

<p>Problem is as this can take quite a few seconds, the page just sort of hangs while all this is going on in the background...  I want to be able to display the page with an animated GIF saying 'Working' or something... And still in the background the methods in the page load are populating the GridView or whatever and when ready show the result?  Any ideas?  Do I have to use an Udate Panel or something?</p>
