I have a simple form that allows me to generate PDFs with a seed number, however, the process takes about 10 seconds.

I wish to initiate a PopUp window with a little animated gif saying it will be over in few seconds, and than offer the download link on the PopUp window once it is done.

I know i can do that with JS however some browsers block that and i was wondering if i can initiate the PopUp as a PHP serverside command that will activate upon clicking the submit button of the form ?

Thanks people for the help.
