Show a loading image while a new view is rendered

Rails
1

I need a help in here…

I wanna show a loading image after i click a submit tag (button). This
button generates a list of items and i wanna show the image while the
list is created.
What show i do? Does the ruby have some kind of control? Where to put
the code? In the view? The Layout?

Thanks in advance

<%= form_remote_tag :url => {:action => ‘search’},
:complete => “new Effect.Appear(‘div_list’)”,
:before => %(Element.show(‘spinner’)),
:update => ‘div_list’,
:success => %(Element.hide(‘spinner’)) %>
Name:
<%= text_field_tag ‘name’%>
<%= submit_tag “Search” %>
<%= image_tag ‘spinner.gif’, :id => ‘spinner’, :style => ‘display:
none’ %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

And if you want to find a spinner, generate one with http://
www.ajaxload.info/ for example.
