After pressing submit button immediately move to the next page or an interim page, so that user feels like something is happening in the background and not stalled. (without loosing the form variables)

The specific example is, someone fills out a comment page, they press submit. I have Active4D move the user to a thankyou.a4d page that then writes the content to a table and sends an email to my client, the user and bcc to myself.

The time it takes to move from pressing the submit button to the thankyou.a4d page is long (in internet time).

Is there a way to move the user (immediately) to a (a) blank page, then to the thankyou.a4d page after the processing is done, or (b) blank page with the words 'processing...' written on it or.... (whatever gives the user the impression that things are being done and not stalled). Is there a generic way to do this so that I could use the technique every time there might be a delay between pressing the button and bring back the response? The database is uncompiled if that makes a difference. I hope this makes sense...

Thanks,

Bill McCarvell
