how to show a message while processing is going on

[Tom George]

I have a jsp page which initiates a processing which takes a fairly long amount of time. (abt 3 minutes) After the user submits the page, a "please wait" should be shown, and once the processing is over, the page should show the results. Any inputs on implementing this?

You can try

<form name="Form1" onsubmit="document.getElementById('divMess').style.display = 'block';retrun true;">

<div id="divMess" style="display:none">Wait you impatient user</div>
