I would think you could use javascript once the button is pressed and wait ___ seconds and after that stop the loading and say "Form could not be submitted"

Declare your form tag with 'onsubmit' attribute as below

HTML

<form name="loginform" id="loginform1" action="unsaved:///?page_id=7&instance=1" method="post" onsubmit="return validate()">

for a particular element, say input box for User name you can validate inside validate() function of javascript as below

JavaScript

function validate()
{
  var username=document.getElementById("user_login1").val();
  if(username == "")
  {
    alert("User name can't be left blank!");
    return false;
  }
}

Likewise you can validate other members of form as per your validation requirements.Hope this will help you.
