Off topic question on Client/Server. My appologies. -- MIDRANGE-L

Sorry for the off-topic post but I need some advice and I know there are
some knowledgeable Client/Server dudes on the list.

What techniques do you use to inform the user that an action is taking place
on the server and the user should wait around for a length of time.  I am
specifically looking for browser based solutions.  I want the user to be
able to "click" to start a function on the server, receive a pop-up message
informing them to "hold their horses" (maybe show a status bar), and then
the pop-up automatically close when the server function is complete (or
cancelled by the user).

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers chaps.

Regards,

Blighty.
