By "may or may not", I mean that the Javascript does necessarily continue on and request a page; in other words, I am sending a request to the server to set a session value and the web page itself is "not interested" in the response and does not want to be changed in any way by the response.
I am not sure what you mean by "that doesn't have to happen directly within the flowscript function called by the sitemap, in just has to eventually happen in the call chain." If a sendPage is not the only way to end a flowscript function, then what are other ways? And why does the "call chain" have to send a page back to the browser ie. where is the option for "one way" communication from client to server?

Can you clarify the "may or may not" part there? In particular, what does "may not" look like? The client has issued a request, and there must be a response. So if Cocoon doesn't generate that response, where does it come from? > > I think this might be possible with flow script, but I > have the impression flow must end with a call to > a sendPage function? One way or another, yes. But of course that doesn't necessarily have to happen directly within the flowscript function called by the sitemap, in just has to eventually happen in the call chain. ml --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright, terms and conditions and e-mail legal notice.
