If there's a long time interval between button click and submission to
server, you could use javascript.
For example: <button onclick="this.style.cursor='wait';">.
To make a "fog" you need to overlay your button with a <div id="fog"> with
the following properties:
#fog {
opacity: .8; /* Gecko */
filter: alpha(opacity=80); /* IE */
width: 100%;
display: none;
position: absolute;
...other options, putting your overlaying element to where it's supposed to
be
}
Then <button onclick="document.getElementById
('fog').style.display='block';">.
If you're using a javascript framework you should check it for handy
solutions like $() instead of getElementById() or toggle() instead of
addressing to style.display, etc.
