That still exists (and works in some browsers); you can see it in action
when the search form on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ is submitted.
While the database query is running, the browser shows an animation of
the Mozilla mascot munching bugs and the text "Please wait while your
bugs are retrieved." After a while, this is replaced with a new document
containing the search results (or a message that "zarro boogs" were found).

Speaking of old Netscape oddities - anyone remember Netcaster and "web
channels" in Netscape Communicator 4? That's the earliest attempt at
HTTP push technology I can think of.

| Channels are Web sites that are automatically delivered to your
| desktop. Using Netcaster, you can subscribe to just the channels
| you want and get just the information you need. This way, you don't
| have to search the Web on your own and look through irrelevant
| information. Netcaster can also update your channels automatically
| so you can always see current information. You can make any channel
| into a full-screen Webtop. [1]

Oooh, a webtop :)
