David, Well, does the content of the next page depend on the completion of the task ? If that is the case, probably the JavaScript page with some animation would probably be the solution. However, if it doesn't depend on it, I think that you could probably start a new thread to do the work and have the action forward to the next step.
I am using something similar to what I mentioned above.. But my question is: if you have a longer job that you are processing (e.g. either in the Action or in a separate thread), if the user has to cancel the job, how can they do it... In other words, if they hit Esc, or hit the Stop button on the browser, that will let them go anywhere else they want, but the job on the server doesn't stop.. it keeps going... -----Original Message----- From: David Bolsover [mailto:david@;bolsover.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 5:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Action takes long time to complete Hi all I have an action that takes a very long time to complete. Advice please - how do I forward to a new page before the tasks the action has started have completed? db Thanks, Alex Kotchnev Diversified Information Technologies ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: If you have received this e-mail in error, please immediately notify the sender by e-mail at the address shown.
