The common method is to add an absolute/fixed positioned DIV that cover the
entire page view (at the topmost z-index). The DIV must have a background
color or image, and be make translucent using the opacity style (e.g.:
opacity=0.5).

Just show it before submitting the form, then hide it after the result has
been received. So you'll need to have either onload or onreadystatechange
handler, depending on which method you're using (IFRAME and/or AJAX), in
order to be notified when the result has been completely received. Hint:
check the readyState property.
