Best way to show web page is processing data

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hello,
Some of the functions of my web application take a good amount of
time to load. Is there a good way to show users that information is
processing and will enventually be loaded? Like changing the cursor
to an hour glass? Does anyone have any sample code?

Thanks,
Billy
