Question : Dummy web loading screen - Image in front

Hi All,
I asked the question earlier and got a good answer. I have the loading spinner etc. now what I'm struggling with is to place a dummy loading spinner in front of my page.

I have seen it on many pages where the loader is in front of the page. Can anyone please direct me somewhere to figure this out. Basically after the user submits a form, I want the page to think about it for x seconds and then release to the designated page.

Many thanks!

Well, I'm a PHP guy myself, but I know the Microsoft Ajax Toolkit (http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/) for ASP.Net is popular.  And this is a way to implement what you need using that set: http://www.dotnet-developer.de/index.php/vb/2008/04/18/display-please-wait-popup

However, there are other scripts out there to do the background fade:

So the other part of what you're asking (to delay the next page loading) would need to be accomplished in one of a couple ways.  Either you can really use AJAX to detect the readystate of the next page, or you can use javascript's timeout function to force a delay.  See http://www.htmlite.com/JS018.php or http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_timing.asp for good examples of that.
