At work we are using ESRI's web based GIS (Geographical Information System). Its basically a JavaScript client (8K lines) running in the browser talking to a Java Servlet via XML, pretty amazing.
When its pulling down maps (500KB) to display from the server it throws a up a "busy" animated gif as a layer. Take a look at the demos:

Subject: [Tapestry-developer] long running response component?
Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 20:20:48 +0000
What are Tapestry people using to provide users with feedback during long-running requests? By "long-running" request, I mean the user hits a button and has to wait a minute or two (or 20 :)) before the final result page is returned because the task triggered by the button push is just so time consuming. Basic UI design dictates trying to provide feedback during this processing "lull".
Have people come up with any components to handle providing feedback for this scenario? If not components, then what kind of techniques? Http meta-refresh? Javascript hackery?
