page load time delay edit?

[davedizzle15]

i have an update button on my web page, but when the user clicks UPDATE they still sit there and dont even know that it worked. is it possible to put something in my page so that it looks like the computer is still thinking so the user actually sees that the update button worked? something along the lines of a time delay function?

Yes. One way is to show an animated GIF when your user clicks the button... and when the AJAX callback fires you can hide it again.

Cheers,

Sure you can - you control the vertical AND the horizontal
