Hi, I'm trying to find out how to temporarily ignore user input while a search is in progress. The following is the desired behavior.
(1) User enters some information (e.g. name and age). (2) User clicks on the search button. (3) $.post() to execute a search in the background. (4) Show a "search in progress" image in the search area. (5) Ignore any user input while the search is in progress. (6) When the search is done, hide the "search in progress" image and process user input again. I'd like to find out how to do step (5) above. Is there anything in JQuery that I can use? Thank you.
