Hi,

Not the best at this, but I have had Abyss up and running for quite some time now, and it's awesome! :P

I would like to have a "please wait while your page is being loaded" after a user clicks the submit button. Is this a redirection type of thing?

Please point me in the right direction :D

Well you could have a popup that comes up, or a little message box, but I can only think of one way to do the actual loding page; which takes some serious PHP skills.

If you would like to use the popup or message box, I can help you with that.

Also, to prevent multiple submissions, you can download a script that disables the "Submit" button after being hit once.

lestat,

You can do it using Javascript (by changing the onsubmit event). Another method is the following: instead of having the submit action directly called (action.php for example), the submit action will be wait.php. wait.php will display the small message and redirect to action.php .

That was what I was referring to when I said "...one way to do the actual loding page..." What I didn't know how to do, though, was carry over the form data. Such as: If you enter data in a form, and hit submit, it goes to a waiting page, and then when it goes to the actual page where the information gets processed, how does the information get retained?
