Adding message to <Select Onchange=...">

Hi. Please see the code below:

<FORM>
<SELECT ONCHANGE='location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
<OPTION selected VALUE='index.html'>Choose An Option Below...</option>
<OPTION VALUE='quantity_search.php'>Search By Quantity</option>
<OPTION VALUE='location_search.php'>Search By Location</option>
<OPTION VALUE='parttype_search.php'>Search By Part Type</option>
<OPTION VALUE='manufacturer_search.php'>Search By Manufacturer</option>
<OPTION VALUE='sf_partnum_search.php'>Search By Surefire Part Number</option>
<OPTION VALUE='partnum_search.php'>Search By Manufacturer Part Number</option>
<OPTION VALUE='description_search.php'>Search Keyword(s) In Part Description</option>
<OPTION VALUE='viewall.php'>View Entire Database Content</option>
<OPTION VALUE='part_location.php'>Enter New Part Information</option>
</SELECT>
</FORM>

HTML:

Since mySql database is getting larger and accessing time is getting longer, how do I add a message "Accessing database. Please wait..." once the user had made a selection (above), ?

Thank you.

 

You'll have to create a div for the output message and create a function that is called ONCHANGE.

 

could you give me a sample code? thanks.
