You're going to hear references to Metatag refresh, and HTTP Header refresh options.
Judging from your statements, I think these would not be the best solution. If you are dealing with IE only, you can use IFRAMES (in Netscape, I think the equivalent is a Layer). In Javascript on the main form, you can set a timer that calls a function (setTimeout()) - if your function sets the location of the IFRAME, the page loaded there can do whatever processing you need, then update the parent page through javascript - including changing the page itself. I've found this to be a much cleaner solution than refreshing whole pages - the user doesn't see the page getting reloaded, but DOES see the results of the reload, which would be the data being updated. My thoughts.... Not yours... Shawn Grover -----Original Message----- From: Neil H. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 9:38 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Elaborate plan... I have an application I am working on... I want each portion of the code to send an HTTP request to a page and respond back to my page, however I want the calling page to refresh. I really want some sort of a status maybe a % complete, but how do I get the page to constantly refresh. Any ideas and or examples people have seen would be great. Sorry I couldn't be anymore vague :) I can see it in my head but not put it in writing...
