We have a web page built in against an HTML widget in our CS. 
Clicking a button on the web page uses a JS trigger to start loading a CS form and populating it with data. 
Whilst this is happening (can be up to 10 seconds before the entire form is loaded/shown) the web page is active and there is no indication at the client end that anything is happening. 

I’d like to turn on the ‘Processsing’ function, as per the refresh/loading of the page in the first place, from JS calls to the HTML widget before the activate of the triggered form, and off again after the form is loaded. (So the user doesn’t think nothing is happening and click the button several times (causing multiple instances of the form to fire up). 
Is this possible? Putting the DSP into ‘locked/processing’ state without the round trip to the server refresh…
