Ah; you're waiting for the browser to send rather than for the server to
send.

I'm no expert, but I don't think there's a way to do this directly.
Ideas that occur to me:

- It wouldn't work for everyone since some (such as I :-) have javascript
  turned off, but you could first change the page on the click and then
  actually submit the form and start the upload.

- You might send the just file name to upload back, get a new page
  containing the "please wait", and let that page request the file by
  name.  This doesn't sound great; if you can do that, what's to keep you
  from getting any file you want from a surfer's computer?  Maybe you
  can, but I'd be moderately surprised, which means I'd be moderately
  surprised if this approach works -- but it's worth evaluating.
