this is what I do. I have a layer that says "Stuff is loading!", and i set
it to invisible.
when u click the submit button, call a javascript that makes that layer
visible! that's it!
u can make that layer overlap over whatever is on your page. it can be a
flash animation!

There's a custom tag called cf_loading I think. pretty slick, it pops up a
little window that says loading or whatever you want it to say, it's just
JavaScript inside, but it sure beats re-inventing the wheel..
It's at the devEx on Allaire's site, a search for "loading" should return
it.
Hope that helps

I would use JavaScript for this...
basically popup a small window with the message you want and then continue
to the page that does the processing, then in the new page's BODY ONLOAD
handling, call a function to close that window....
here's what I'm thinking
----------------------------------------------------
<SCRIPT>
function callLoadMsg() {
indow.open('loadMsg.cfm','loadMsgWindow','width=400,height=200,toolbar=0,loc
ation=0,directories=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,menubar=0');
location = 'dowhatever.cfm';
}
</SCRIPT>
<A HREF="javascript:callLoadMsg();">THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME, MAYBE</A>
----------------------------------------------------
then the page that takes awhile to load:
----------------------------------------------------
<BODY ONLOAD="javascript:loadMsgWindow.close()">
----------------------------------------------------
I did this on-the-fly without testing, but the idea and the logic is
there....
or wait for CF5....
