if you used the loading plugin: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/loading
$.loading(true, {mask:true, maskCss:{background:'#000', opacity:1}});
and when all is ready:
$.loading(false);
See the demo page for the project to get a feel for more options and
also some nice CSS you can use to make the loading message prettier.
