Since a client never can talk to a server with html pages this is afaik not really possible. You'd have to use something like a java applet, flash or something else that is able to talk to a server. However, you could maybe work around it in some ways, I haven't tested these, but I guess they should work to some extent: 1. Simple. Just make a page which reloads the "target" page after one minute. This, however, might be problematic if the work takes longer than one minute and would create needless waiting time if the work is processed quicker. 2. More or less the same as (1), but a little more sophisticated. Send a page that loads itself every five or ten seconds. For each reload, test if the work has been done, if not send the same page, otherwise, send a "success" page or whatever. Others may have better solutions, and there could be problems with these that I haven't thought of, but at least they're suggestions ;-) -- --Fredrik If God is dead, who will save the Queen? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
