"loading..." message on combobox?

I have two dropdowns that take a few seconds to populate (they are
populated from a remote database, but the connection to the database is
not the best).

Is it possible to put a 'Loading...' message into the dropdownlist which
will show by default, and then will disappear when the dropdown is
populated?

Maybe this could be done through javascript?

thanks.

No. It is a `select' element, BTW. Do not assume it is displayed as
dropdown.
