Can Javascript put long running processes into another thread so that they don't block the UI thread?
Can such a thread update a progress meter on the UI? I have found references to proxies, eventQueues etc. but no actual code. For a while it looked like LDAP was using JS in this way - but they have moved to c++. Any pointers/examples? Alternatively, is there an equivalent to the (hated) doEvents() function in MS Basic? Reason: I have an xml file with 12,000 xml lines in it. When loading/transforming it (using JS) the UI locks for about 2 minutes.
