Progress Bar While Processing Payment

Is it possible to have a progress bar or even just a please wait dialog of some discription while a payment is being processed? If not can you please assist with a possible customisation I can do to support something like this.

We are using the HikaSerial component and and I have a hikaserial generator plugin using curl to generate serial numbers and associated software licenses. This combined with the eWay payment plugins curl request means the payments step can take a few seconds. During this time there is no indication that anything is happening and we seldom but occasionally get duplicated orders processed within seconds of each other. I don't know if this is definitely the cause but I thought it could be associated with clicking next while an existing payment and order is being processed.

Either way I would like to try and have some sort of notification that the order is being processed,as this type of warning dialog seems common in most online shops. I would also appreciate your feedback as to whether the duplicated order could be associated with further user interaction while the order is being processed, because if it is not I may need to try and figure out how this could occur also.

Sorry I know it has been a while but I've finally got back to looking at this. Where does the eway_thanks view fit in the process. I have put a debug break at the begging of this view and this file is not parsed processed during payment. I should mention that my eway plugin has been customised to support recurring payments so my eway.php is based on a very early version. If there has been changes that support this view then mine will not have them.

Hi,
The "eway_thanks" view will display at the final step of your checkout process and only if your customer's order is/will be paid.

That seems to be my "eway_end" view. What is the difference between "eway_end" and "eway_thanks".

In any case Adding a spinner to this view seems a bit late. By the time this view is loaded the order has been processed. What I am trying to do is have a spinner or some sort of notification that the order is being processed so they do not click the next button again. While the payment is being processed (eway payment plugin) and the serial numbers are being generated (HikaSerial generator plugin) there is no indication that anything is being processed and customers tend to get inpatient and click next again. Will adding a spinner to this view actually do this? Based on your comments it will only load after payment has been confirmed

My checkout is as follows if this is needed. I would like the spinner to occur between Payment and End as soon as you click Next on the payment step.
