something quite simple, but im not entirely sure how to do it. Basically when i click a button, i want it to swap the image for a pleasewait .gif and the after 3 seconds or so direct to a page, or refresh the page. This is just really to make the script i have look like it is actually doing something as its pretty instant.
Could someone please give me an idea of how to achieve it?

thanks

Have a click function set up on the button (onclick in JS, .click() in jQuery) that changes the src of the button (assumedly an input type="image" or img). Then add a setTimeout call including the redirect code.

Example (jQuery):

$("#button").click(function () {
   $("#button").attr("src","images/waiting.gif");
   setTimeout('window.location = "http://www.yoursite.com"',3000);
});

That's just off the top of my head, may not be 100% copy and pastable...

EDIT: to reload use window.location.reload()
