Hi.
If I make a form that has a fair bit of data to submit, i find that the user has the ability to click other buttons while the information is being processed - thus screwing up things a little.
I have seen on some websites a full screen layer that pops up on submit with a loading animating gif in the middle.
does anyone have any snippets I can use for this? And is this best as a javascript thing, or a jquery thing?
Cheers,
Doug

Re: lock screen on submit
The term you want to search for is "lightbox", but more specifically "jquery lightbox"
