On our J2EE system we had a java applet which was used during heavy processing to tell us the client was still waiting and hadn't given up. It did this by sending a ping every second or so. I never liked the idea as it was very clunky (Im not a fan of Java applets).

You could possibly implement a similar idea in _javascript_. Just get it to request an adp from your server using .load(request) passing in a unique ID as a parameter in the request. The adp could then log the active ID in a cache for you to check. Or something like that. Not sure if you could do this in the same active open connection though - but you could retrieve the status channel using JS as well and update the page with DOM. Thats fairly easy to do and should work across most modern browsers (with JS enabled of course).

Just a thought.

I was affraid of that... Thanks for looking into it though! If I end up
creating the app, I'll just do a close every minute and make the client
reconnect if it still needs it.

Cheers,
