Display Hour Glass when submit is pressed

[wacook]

How do I display an hour glass on an entry form when submit is pressed?

The entry.php form passes variables with post to the executing php file that gets the data and displays it in a graph. Is there a way to display an hour glass when the executing form is getting the data?

As far as I know, I haven't heard of anything in php capable of that, but I might be wrong.

PHP can't do anything like that because the server doesn't know anything about "the cursor" - that's the browser's job.

And, curiously enough, there is a way to use Javascript to get the browser to do something on form submission: it's called the "onsubmit" event handler.

onsubmit="javascript:document.body.style.cursor='wait';"

Thanks how would I apply this? Where would I put it and what other lines of code will I need?

<form>

<input type = "submit" onclick="javascript:document.body.style.cursor='wait';" name="buton_name" value="Buton_value" >
</form>
