You can actually use specific AJAX status codes to determine the calls
status (2,3,4... If I remember correctly).

I think you will need to use AJAX if you want true loading status as the
browsers spinning globe etc is supposed to be used to tell the user a
page/request is loading..

Do you need the call to be truly asynchronous (so you can do other things?)

Matthew,

Simple, but you can take it from there (if you're using AJAX to  
display the results of the call you can skip the show/hide of the div):

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<cfsilent>
<cfsavecontent variable="message">
<h2>Thank You.  We Are Processing the information you have requested</ 
h2>
<p class="notice">Please Stand By.....</p>
<div align="center"><img src="loading.gif" alt="loading"/></div>
</cfsavecontent>
</cfsilent>
<cfwddx action="cfml2js" input="#message#"  
toplevelvariable="procmessage" />
function showProcess() {
pcontent = document.getElementById("processing");
fcontent = document.getElementById("yourForm");
fcontent.style.display = "none";
pcontent.style.display = "block";
pcontent.innerHTML = procmessage;
}
</script>

div#processing is obviously set with style="display:none" when the  
page loads.
