    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {

        $("a#em4c").bind("click", function () {
            $("#popup2").bPopup({ content: 'iframe', contentContainer: '#pContent', loadUrl: "http://site.com" });

Might This would be helpful for you

<form>
Your input elements 
</form>
<div id="dialog1" title="Waiting" style="display:none">
<img src="/spinning.gif" border="0" align="left" hspace="12"/> Place all your text here   
<iframe id="iframe1" src="" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
Place all your Text 
</div>

write this in document.ready

$("#dialog1").dialog({
                autoOpen: false,
                height: 150,
                weight: 50,
                resizable: false,   
                modal: true 
            });

//On click of the Element You can do in this way

$("a#em4c").bind("click", function () {
        $('#dialog1').removeAttr('style');
        $('#dialog1').dialog('open');
            var url ="some.php";
            $('#iframe1').attr('src',url);
    })

On click Of the Element it will Open the Spinning Image after That it opens some.php in the iframe. Is this you were expecting?
