If you are looking to provide an progress that displays the actual progress of the request you will need to part of it on your server side and determin some method of getting the progress information back to the user. However most sits don't worry about displaying the actual progress, but just some indicator that something is happening. The normal method of doing this is with an animated gif image (I use ones generated online [1]). As for stoping the user from doing anything while the request is processing, the easiest way is to create a div which you position: fixed, fills the windows and has a z-index that will position it above all of the other elements.
