My many thanks to all the people that  replied.  I found a very nice way 
to do this on the below article ....
http://www.ftponline.com/archives/premier/mgznarch/javapro/2001/01jan01/te0101/te0101.asp
It is quite generic and supports all browsers.

Thank you very much

Yes. Obviously not well tested.  But the concept should still be valid.
Just be certain to test your app better than they did!

Unfortunatelly the below site runs only in microsoft's internet explorer
while i would like mozilla compatibility. Is there a way to  build the
wait  page without  session?
Thanks

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.

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
