I have a process that sometimes takes quite a while to complete (5-10
seconds), and while it's going, I'd like to show the user a little message
with an animated gif or something to let them know it's really working.

Any ideas?

Here is what I do:

1. Create a new thread and place the thread in a session variable

2. Redirect user to a processing page. Wait for 5 seconds

3. Redirect back to inital page, check session variable to see if thread is
complete. If not, Redirect to processing page.

4. Repeat.
