Steven,
I solved this problem just the other day....
Spacer.gif is a 1x1 gif file which is transparent. 32x32Hourglass.gif
is a funky hourglass image I use to make it look friendly.
This works by intercepting the Postback and essentially dropping a
pane of glass on the page so you can see but not touch.
It's not 100% perfect, but it works. I've one issue with the glass div
size but as of now it ain't breaking anything...
NB - this only works for Severside Postback's...

Could you not "lock" all fields until the parent field is populated?
No, the fields don't have a parent/child relationship between them.
