Well depends on what you mean by progress bar.. Theres the one everyone would truely like but is generally a pain in the a** to make, which goes on a byte to byte percentage. Then there are the timer based ones that look like like they are like the byte to byte progress bar.. then there is the super simplistic version which a lot of sites generally follow is the loader image. Just an ainimated gif you put there to show theres something going on. So the user doesnt sit there and wonder wtf.. This is usually the ladder option as its easier to maintain, and makes for a lot less noise in the background for things running in the background.

 

With that go to http://ajaxload.info/ get your self one of the animated gifs, load it on your page like you would anything else via html, and with CSS inline or otherwise "display:none" on that image or element its in, then upon clicking your submit button change the css on it to display:block through the javascript. Visual impression of a loader now effective.
