I have an application which does some time-consuming work after a form is submitted. I'd like to have a little message saying "please wait" but I'm not sure how to implement that.
I'm thinking somehow you have to send a page to the browser from the method that is being called by the form. Sounds like a basic thing but I'm kind of new to RoR.
Any ideas?

It can by manage if you you using AJAX, and it's many ways to do it, there one:
just show some <div id='waiter' style='dislpay:none'>pleas wait</div> on 'ajax start' event and hide this one on 'ajax end' event.
If you choose jqure (jquery.com) it would look like:
$("#loading").ajaxStart(function(){ $(this).show(); });
("#loading").ajaxStop(function(){ $(this).hide(); });

Thank you. I implemented something similar to what you described and got it to work. Many thanks.
