How to redirect to another page after form submition using a loading screen-CodePudding

<form action='page.html' 
method='post'>
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Enter your name here"> 
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

In this above code after form submition there will be about 5 seconds of a loading screen or a icon(icon is better), then it will redirect to page.html.I am new to Web Dev world, so please help me anyone with the coding part. I don't know how to do it using javascript or jQuery.

You can use font awesome spinner icon, this code will display a spinner icon below the input field for 5 seconds. You can change its place depending on your needs.

<form action='page.html' method='post' onSubmit="return showSpinner(this);">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Enter your name here"> 
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<i  style="font-size:24px;visibility:hidden" id="spinner-icon"></i>

<script>
    const showSpinner = form => {
        // Display the spinner icon
        document.getElementById("spinner-icon").style.visibility = "visible";
        // Wait 5 seconds then submit form
        setTimeout(function() {
            form.submit();
        }, 5000);  // 5 seconds
        
        return false;
