Dhruva,

I have done this before.... the absolute cleanest implementation is 
almost 100% javascript:

1) Javascript submit(); call to start POST page loading
2) Javascript delete contents of the window (javascript:document.clear();)
3) Write new content to the window... adding in an <img> tag to a 
animated GIF (or, cooler a Flash movie)
this is done with one call to document.write(str); You have to populate 
the str variable first because each document.write causes the window to 
be cleared and then rewritten.

Item #2 is somewhat optional, but I like it for clarity and I'm a little 
weird.
