is there a way to show a spinner when a form has been submitted built into gravity? or a sensible way to do it? I have a form that takes a little white to submit. It is not an ajax form.

Thanks

Will

Doing so is not a feature of Gravity Forms. I’m not aware of any ready to use third-party add-on for it either. So you would need to add your own custom code to the form to implement it.

If you feel you need assistance implementing this, we would recommend contacting a freelance developer.  
**Gravity Forms are**  **official partners with** [**Codeable**](https://codeable.io/?ref=BeT91), who are the #1 WordPress outsourcing service.

You can also post to our [Community Forum Job Board](https://community.gravityforms.com/c/job-board), We do not vet any of the individual developers there, it is an open forum for all, but our community is certainly full of talented folks!

Is there any issue with catching the onclick of the submit button? will that hinder gforms?

So something like this:

```auto

add_action( 'gform_enqueue_scripts', 'your_prefix_add_scripts' );
function your_prefix_add_scripts($form) {
	    echo '<script>
			$(document).ready(function(){
				const button= document.querySelector(".gform_button");
				button.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
					 	e.target.value = "Sending";
						e.target.parentElement.classList.add("gform-sending");
						// e.preventDefault();
				});
			});
        </script>';
	}

```
