pagination and the 'Processing...' div

mstone42

Is there an easy way to show/hide the 'Processing...' div during pagination when using server-side fetches, i.e. when the user clicks the back/pagenumber/next buttons (we're using the full-numbers pagination style), how can we enable the "Processing..." div so the user knows the table is actually doing something? We have a lot of data, which makes the round-trip from the server a bit slow, so the users are perceiving this as nothing is happening, so they click another button, and then another, and then the browser locks up cuz it's still trying to process all the button clicks! I've tried putting my own overlay on the page, but as usual, IE doesn't like it, and won't display it.

I seem to recall having seen something to this effect posted somewhere on this site, but alas, I couldn't find it.

We have set "bProcessing: true".
We're using DT 1.6.2.

Thanks!
