You have to make a while-loop that checks that what you are doing is finished
or not, this don't really work on uploads in an easy way, it's more for server
side work, like processing data from a huge database, sending millions of spam
and so on.

For your upload it's easier to use a small javascript that is executed when
pressing the submit button on the upload form
(onClick="execute_this_javascript_function(); return true;"), all the script
has to do, is to open a new window and load a wait page. How to write a nice
script, if you can't find one with help of google, then ask about it on a
javascript newsgroup and say you want javascript and not jscript solution.
