Once you re-direct by submit, your current page loses control. That's
the problem with the submit button. When user presses, your page is
immediately gone.
You need to manually do this by making your own, fake "submit." Stick
a .gif "submit look-alike" in your html.
<img id="submit" src="submit.gif"
Now, in your jquery function(ready)...
$("#submit").onclick() bla bla
{
1. load or form your waiting message
2. use AJAX to send your data out.
}
If you need help with AJAX, see the AJAX tutorial at w3schools.com
