Progress Screen between submitting CC and receiving a reponse

We have noticed, that due to poor response times from LinkPoint, at times, the customer will see a blank white screen from the time that the submit button is clicked to when the response is received.

Instead of the white screen, I would like to display some sort of progress screen.  One that would give a sense that some sort of processing is occurring.

How do I add/modify to get this effect?

Also, if the return is negative, then instead of the generic page, I would like to return to the submission page.  This would allow the customer to change the information (card number mistyped, expiration date, invalid address/zip).  This would open up another can of worms as LinkPoint will not allow a resubmission of an order number.  The order number would have to be changed.

We're all humanary stew, if we don't pledge allegiance to the Black Widow!

Re: Progress Screen between submitting CC and receiving a reponse

You're using a separate cp-linkpoint.cgi script.  In that script, print your content-type header a bit higher in the script (before the call to lperl) and display HTML with ENDOFTEXT tags above all of the processing.

Re: Progress Screen between submitting CC and receiving a reponse

The blank white page is cp-linkpoint.cgi.  In there you've got a line:

print "Content-type: text/htmlnn";

move that line to the top of the script and print some HTML under it.

boo
i understand the idea behind this but i can't seem to find the right location to put the html in..
where did you place it?
did you keep the refresh tags where it was in the script?

Re: Progress Screen between submitting CC and receiving a reponse

disregard.
I realized my problem was I relocated the print to endoftext also instead of adding an additional one.
