Hi Josh we are doing something very complex actually that has so many different things that could effect the time it takes.
jsmx only passes back information when it is done but if we could get it to pass back at various stages in the cycle then it would be perfect we are generating a spreadsheet with data but the data needs to be processed and formatted with sql and cf and based on many many different scenarios. currently the user selects to generate a spreadsheet and it says 'generating spreadsheet...' but if they have selected a large amount of data then it could take some time so we need to provide them with feedback on the progress this is the issue we have right now thanks >What sort of thing are you doing on the server exactly? > >I don't think you can really get the exact progress, but you can do sort of >an estimation that is better than nothing. > >I do this when doing multiple inserts into a database that can be a bit >slow. You do a test single insert via ajax, record the time it took, then >use that time to calculate the total estimated time for all inserts, and use >that total time to do the progress bar. > >-- Josh > > >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:309820 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
