Google base image upload status indicator

If you play with uploading images (you don't need an account to play with it) on Google's new Base application - how did they create what appears to be an animated gif "clock" on the right side indicating that the image is uploading.

Do they use a combination of Javascript, CSS and an animated gif, or is it done some other way?

It is an animated GIF:

Thanks Dan.

I think it would be pretty easy to display the waiting type GIF when the image upload starts, but how do i know when not to display the GIF when the upload is complete? (I am using Coldfusion)

I just thinking how i can make this work for my site.

Surely once the file(s) are uploaded, the form submission will have finished, and so the browser will unload the page with the animation on ready to display the HTML content of the form submission page?
