Help Needed...$Response->Flush??

[Daniel G. Augustine]

Hey all,

I have succeeded in making one selection list dictate another (if any of you
remember my post about 2 weeks or so ago).  Regardless, it does not work all
the time, yes it is intermittent.  Myself and a co-worker have checked the
code many times, but find the code seems to be stable.  We think there may
be a problem with the server and how the Response object is grabbing
information. I cannot find enough documentation on the asp-apache.org site
about the $Response->Flush() method, so im not sure if thats even where i
should be looking for solving this problem.  Im sure there is somehting gon
on behind the scenes that a rookie is just missing.  Please lend me a hand
if possible, the code is below...

Thanks a lot everyone,


Dan Augustine
