Overlay effect possible?

Hi all,

I've got a script that queries an API and takes about 5 seconds to do so. I'd like to have a 'searching' jquery style overlay appear while it does this to let any impatient surfers know that everythings running OK.

After much googling I'm still at a loss how to do it. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
