   What i want to do is have a button that the visitor clicks, and it then begins a process which it,

   -shows a loading graphic, for a set amount of time (pretends its loading)
   -displays a message after the allotted time has elapsed, saying something like "your information has loaded" in place of the loading graphic.

   i hope i explained this properly. I used to complete the same objective in html with iframes and metarefresh, but iframes are buggy in wordpress.

   I was wondering if there is another, simpler wordpress solution for something like this?

   wait what is this thats loading, you want the user to face a loading bar when what, they visit your site?
   or click a link?

   more like when they click a link, or more specifically a button.

   most importantly i want to do it all in 1 simple smooth process. They click the button, a loading graphic appears for a couple seconds... the loading graphic then disappears and something like "your information has been found" is displayed to the visitor.

   Thanks for any help.

   i really don't see a point for this, because your wordpress pages should be loading at such speeds that a person should not see a huge wait time not more than 3 secs for any page i think, and i don;t think there is a plugin or something "ready" that you can use,
   try this site they have a whole guide on using ajax loading bars

   Thanks for the suggestions, i'll look into those.

   I know there probably isnt a plugin for this, i was hoping it was just some simple code i perhaps didnt know.

   maybe to put my question even more simply.

   Is there a command that can make a picture, or text appear or disappear at the click of a button?
