You could also fire off a CFHTTP request to the page you are calling with a timeout of 1 - not quite instant, but possibly better than waiting. I seem to remember that a timeout of 0 causes your page to wait as long as necessary for the request to finish before continuing, so be careful ;-)
Apparently Blackstone is supposed to have Asynchronous CFML Gateways that make this sort of thing a lot more elegant: http://www.dcooper.org/Blog/client/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=24BEF3D6-4E22- 1671-55146EEC011D18D4 -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Walker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 20 January 2005 9:32 a.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CF calling a page itself How about loading the page into a hidden iframe? When the page is finished, you can get the page in the iframe to call some JavaScript in the parent page: parent.myJSMethod(); -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 20 January 2005 9:23 a.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: CF calling a page itself Hi, I need to have a CF page make a call to another CF page on the same server but not wait for a response. What I really need is just to do some processing in the background but have the presentation send an "Action complete" message to the user instead of timing out. Can anybody help?
