[Robert Sirois]

Are you able to use an #onSuccess: type message is your system? (Ajax request.)

> Hi all.  I've built a fairly complex interface using SmallFaces 
> components. 
> 
> 9 listboxes,  4 buttons,  3 labels, 1 panel and two custom components 
> (subclasses of SFAbstractWidget -  search results and a map).  Selecting 
> an option in one listbox results in a chain of events being executed - 
> the contents of two other listboxes are updated, a search conducted on a 
> remote server and the results being displayed including label and button 
> statuses being updated.   There are no submit or search buttons - 
> selecting a listbox option starts the process (I will be adding the 
> functionality to include the search button should the user not have 
> javascript on).  There are no forms.  It works well - that is not the 
> problem.

> The challenge I have is due to the delay in getting data from the remote 
> server I would like to implement a "please wait" message while the data 
> is being retrieved.  I am not having any success getting it to work.
