I've written a few, but there's a whole bunch out there (http://
docs.jquery.com/Tutorials).

Using Ajax to validate forms:

Ajax'ifing forms (screencast):

What you're after boils down to this (though very simply):

$('#waitingblock').html('<img src="loading.gif" />');

$.ajax({
  url: 'myurl.php',
  data: 'action=do-stuff',
  success: function () {
    $('#waitingblock').empty(); // remove the loading image
    // do stuff.
  },
  error: function () {
    $('#waitingblock').empty();
    // let the user know something went wrong
  }
});
