Need to build a 'waiting' screen for searches

I have a web app, where the user can enter search criteria, then click
'submit'. The search takes a few seconds. My customer wants a 'waiting'
screen to come up with an animated Gif, then replace it with the results when
they are ready. I'm trying to figure out how to do this in my C# app, but
keep running into roadblocks. I tried linking to a 'waiting' page that does
nothing but display the .gif, then Response.Redirect to the 'SearchResults'
page, but it doesn't ever show the 'waiting' page. I need something that
will return back to the user. I suppose I could do a 'Meta' tag with a
refresh, but is there a better way?

Thanks
