How do lock the website while a page loads ?
Hi all,
I'm looking for a tool which would lock my web page while it's loading.
For example, let's say I have a left menu with some links. Whenever I click on one of them, a div (or anything else like an image and some text saying "loading...") pops up in the middle of the screen and the rest the page becomes unclickable with a soft gray background over the whole website.
In case you don't get what I mean, here's an example: http://www.swsoft.com/en/products/plesk/demo/
The Plesk Control Panel does exactly what I want. Does anybody have an idea how it's done please ?
Thanks in advance !

Sorry but that doesn't seem to be what I want. Any other suggestion ?
The best would be one similar to Plesk's lock & load system.
Thanks !

You might want to take a look at the link I've been given please ?
If you bothered reading it you'd notice it's really not what I was looking for.
I'm sorry but no points will be given since I found the solution on my own.

There is nothing to discuss and nothing to solve. The question was: "Does anybody have an idea how it's done please ?"
My answer is: "They lock the page by an overly of iframe loaderSubLayer and a table loaderContainer."
You want to say I do not have an idea how it's done please???

Well, sacabonos2k6's solution really did not help as it is explained how to display a progress bar (which is totally not what I need) on a page using ActiveXObject or .NET. I am developping in PHP and I don't use any of the technologies mentionned in that website.
As for Zvonko's solution, I am not using iFrames for my application so it didn't help me either. Moreover, his link pointed to his profil page where I was supposed to download and install a software to understand a possible solution I didn't need in the first place.
That sumarizes why none of the solution I've been given helped me.
As for how I did it, it's pretty simple:
I used javascript to display a 100% width by 100% height div with 80% opacity when my AJAX computation starts, and then hide it when it's done.
