Here's a quick-and-dirty working example:
---------------
<script language="Javascript">
var waitwin;
function openWaitWin() {
waitwin=window.open("wait.html","wait_window","width=250,height=220,menu
bar=no,statusbar=no,toolbar=no");
}
function closeWaitWin() {
if (waitwin!=null) {
waitwin.close();
}
}
</script>
<body onunload='closeWaitWin()'>
<form method=post enctype="multipart/form-data" action="myaction.php">
<input type="file" name="test">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="go" onclick='openWaitWin()'>
