"Processing Order" Notification while waiting on payment gateway?

Is there a way to add functionality to zen cart so when you click Confirm Order you have something that says "Processing...." and some turning sign (like most of the other sites have) while waiting?

I do know you can choose and ADD options for that here:

localization, then ORDER STATUS you can insert and edit there. :smile:

Thanks for your help, that's not quite what I was looking for (my question wasn't clear). What I want is for when someone clicks on the confirm order button at the last step of checking out, they are given a "processing order" image while the site is loading the thank you page after processing the credit card. Does that make sense? Has anyone successfully done that with Zen Cart?

Anyone??

This would be a good feature as I too have multiple customers pressing the checkout more than 1 time thus generating several orders which I then have to delete....

Sometimes the server takes a bit more time to process and customers thought they didn't press the checkout button so they press it again.

Sorry to bump this back up, but I'm still trying to figure out a way to do this. Any ideas?

Would be a nice feature

Could do some css to hide or gray-out the button

Even if somebody has any ideas to 'fake' it that would be helpful. It doesn't really need to know if the processor is done, as long as it looks like it knows.

What I did was I created a animated gif text that says "Do not click twice" and it flashes. Once the submit cart button is pressed, the animation stops flashing indicating the button has been pressed.

This alerts the customers that they have already pressed the button and won't press it again.

How do you get it to stop flashing?

This would be nice to try. Can you post the code? :smile:

Here's what I decided to do, in case anyone else runs into this issue. I added some javascript to the form to replace the image for the submit button with an animated gif that says 'Processing' when the form is submitted. This seems to work well.

You don't need to stop it, it will stop due to the process going on in the server side....
