Check out how the flight booking engines like www.opodo.com do it. When the form is submitted they display a Layer (ie make it "visible") which contains the "Please wait" message. When the next page eventually loads this is naturally replaced.
If you want to do it without DHTML, some of the older sites used to load a waiting page that would "refresh" itself every 5 seconds or so, each time checking if the sever action had completed.
Or, as has also been suggested, you could submit your form to a hidden frame (or an iframe) and when your action is complete the view will return some Javascript that will make the main frame redirect to the display page. This will require results of your action to be stored in the Session.

Subject: [OS-webwork] How do i build a wait page in webwork? Please help
Hi there,
I was wondering how could i display a message to the user while getting values from the database. I.e. the user clicks on the GetUsers submit button that calls the Users.action .I would like at that point to display the "please wait" message until the Users.action returns somekind of response.For the record I am using velocity.
I really appreciate any info.
Thanks a lot sygram
