How to display an in progress banner while you are waiting

[Guest]

I have a query that usually takes 10 seconds to finish. So I would like to
have a banner that says loading to let user know it is loading the page. I
tried Marquee tag and an animated gif within a div tag. Marquee works out
well for me but the animated gif stops spinning and becomes static after I
sumbit a button to which I attach an onclick client-side javascript that
makes the div tag visible. Did anybody have the same issue before? Also I
want to know other ways to accomplish this.

Thanks very much.
