Does JSL provide a "busy" indicator similar to a spinning wheel or bar?

I am processing hundreds of thousands of rows and I wanted something "visual" to tell the user that the script is doing something. I appreciate any hints or tricks to achieve this.

I like your use of functions to accomplish the same thing, makes it cleaner. 

A few things I've learned from when I scripted mine above, if the user decides to close the window it will crash your script.  I'd suggest looking at my code I attached above.  Uses try/catch and allows the user to hit cancel as well.  Also, feel the Show Menu(0), and Show Toolbar(0) makes a loading bar a little cleaner for the window.

I like the cancel button and the x-axis percentage.  The Show Menu(0) and Show Toolbar(0) is pretty cool too.

Craige,

Somehow the website munged a portion of your code.  See the middle line below:

spacerbox(size(20,20)),

  progress:busy = Busy Light( <

  Border Box( Left( 20 ), Right( 20 ), top( 20 ), bottom( 20 ),

Hi,

Yes. It does look like the translator removed some of the key elements.

I'll see if I can get the translation to stop being so greedy.

In the meantime, if you uncheck the the Translate Page to: option it will show the missing characters.

Thanks, I attached a copy of the script.  I suspect the less-than less-than in the JSL makes some browsers unhappy.  I've noticed the three browsers I often use render the community pages differently.  Progress Bar
