Change button to "loading" after clicked

[LoveWeb2py]

Hello,

I'm using the form=FORM('Search text:', INPUT(_name='texttofind', INPUT(_type='submit')) which generates a button and a search field on a web page when I type {{=form}}

How can I change the button to "loading" when a user clicks it

I found this documentation on jquery http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/javascript.html#buttons but I'm not sure how to assign it to the button.

 I'm pretty sure you can pass the 'input' function a _data-loading-text="Loading..."

I believe that anything with an underscore in front of it gets added as an attribute. You could do it like this...

INPUT(_type='submit', _data-loading-text="Loading...", _cheese="Casu marzu")

and your input tag will be on the page like so:

<input type='submit' data-loading-text="Loading...", cheese="Casu marzu">

python won't let you do _data-loading-text in that way (because of the "-" sign)

However, recent web2py releases allow you to use data={'loading-text'} ^__^

you can review this section of the book for a complete reference

Thanks for the update Niphlod!

I'm using 2.3.2. Do you know if its available in that version? I tried using data={'loading-text':'loading} in the controller, but its not taking it for some reason.
