Display gif while loading

Hi all,

I have developed a plugin that queries a database in the background and shows the results in a WordPress page. The problem is that – depending on the query – the database lookup can take quite some time. So I would like to display some message or (preferably) a rotating gif to the user while the query is running. Basically I am looking for Ext.LoadMask as a WordPress plugin. I thought this was a common enough problem that somebody would already have developed something like that but I couldn’t find anything on the web.

So, my question is: Is there a WordPress plugin that does this? Or is it easily enough done with some lines of code of my own?

I would greatly appreciate any help from you.

Alex
