hello, for method 2, can you provide more specific code snippets wrt to the meta thingy?
i have a form (upload.html ) which will call a dtml-method ( uploadHandler ) consisting of external methods ( python ).
So how do i display the waiting page while waiting for the uploadHandler to complete, and then returning to upload.html

thanks
