pointer, hourglass and back to pointer again?

[skitty123]

I have a fucntion call on the server side the takes 3-4 minutes as its inserting several records in the database. In the mean time users of the asp page get impatient and keep clicking the "submit" button,
though I have added a warning message etc, the best solution woudl be to have a hourglass apear after the "Submit" is pressed once and have it change back to a pointer once the function call is over ( ie records inserted).
but from what I can find in my search is that there is no way to do a client side thing like this purely from the server. some solutions mention how to change it to an hourglass on click, but how do I make it change it back to a pointer?

ok never mind I figured out how by combining info from 2 other threads (thanks to millerk and LV!!!)..

here is what i used

// in the code behind in the

override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
....//
btnSubmit.Attributes.Add
("onclick", "javascript:hourglass();");
}
// the aspx page

<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function hourglass()
{
document.body.style.cursor = "wait";
}

when the page reloads, the pointer chanegs back
