Use the $.ajax() function to load content dynamically.
For the animation, find an animated .gif (http://www.ajaxload.info can generate one for you). What I usually do is:
$(element).html('<img src="loading.gif">');
Then run your ajax function, and on success replace the loading gif with the loaded content.
