Simple for most, but giving me problems

Any suggestions on how I can get a simple text message (not a popup) to appear to let people know "please be patient, receiving information from a third party vendor" when they click the submit button? Because right now it takes anywhere from 1 to 10 seconds and for someone who is not familiar with our website may think it is a malfunction and close the screen out.

Not really a PHP issue, but you can do like this:

Display message:
<div id="wait_msg" style="visibility:hidden;">Please wait while we hack your computer.</div>

Your submit button
<input type="submit" value="submit" onClick="javascript:document.all['wait_msg'].style.visibility = 'visible'" />

It "should" work.

There is of course not supposed to be a space inbetween the java and script in the submit button, but this forum seems to like it that way 😉
