can't really "erase" what you wrote to the page without using some form
of _javascript_ and hiding and showing divs. I've done this before with a
simple:
<div>Please wait because this may take a minute</div>
<cfflush>
Then, at the bottom of your code that does all the outputting, put a
_javascript_ line to hide that div and it will appear that it's not there.
I also tried doing a status bar once, where I had an image and using
_javascript_, I updated the width of the image and the text displayed next
to it, but I updated it every 1 percent and that wrote a separate line
of _javascript_ to the page, so I was unnecessarily writing 100 lines of
_javascript_. Every 25% might be more feasible and still give you decent
performance.

Hi,
I have a page that takes a long time to process, I would like to update
the user, or at least hide the form that appears on the page, while the
pages are processing.
I think I need to use cfflush, but if anybody has any pointers on how to
accomplish this I would be very appreciative.
I'd the form to be submitted, then a page would come up that says
processing
- don't touch that browser.... and then the results and a new form come
up on the page. If it could be more descriptive - like say 6 of 42
processed that would be neat too. (processing occurs inside a loop)
I could really use a clue.
Thanks.
-Nate
