Felix,
Thank you, that did indeed give blockUI enough time to bring up the
message. However, it created another problem.
// when submitting the form, check the values to make sure they are
numeric
$("#lePlanForm").submit(function() {
var retval;
// Give the user a processing message
$.blockUI();
return setTimeout(function()
{
*retval = checkForm();*
// Undo the processing message
$.unblockUI();
}, 10);
return retval;
});
Notice that I use the return value of checkForm to stop submission of
the form if there are invalid values. Using the timeout function seems
to break this as the form is always being submitted. How do I get the
results of retval back from the setTimeout() function?
Thanks.

I've just looked at this real quick, but would something like this
maybe work:
----------------------------------------
|$.blockUI(messageElement); |
setTimeout(function()
{
| retval = checkForm();
|| $.unblockUI(); |
|}, 100);
|----------------------------------------

|It should give blockUI some time to come up before the current thread
get's pinned.

That's a problem. I see what you're doing, and I understand why
you're doing it, but I don't know of any way to force the browser to
render changes while you've got the current thread pinned. You really
need async behavior to make this work, but that's not an option for
you in your use case.
I don't have an answer for this. Anyone have any ideas?

Basically, I have some CPU intensive form validation that takes about 3
seconds to complete. I would like blockUI to start before the form
processing and stop after the form processing. However, the blockUI message
doesn't ever show up. When I comment out $.unblockUI(), the blockUI message
shows up AFTER the form processing is completed. Code can be found here (57
lines):

I can arrange for the full HTML and JS if needed.
