response.flash is used to set a fixed content into the layout.html This happens to be a <div class="flash"></div> in the scaffolding app. That being said, you can't update the contents without refreshing the page, and / or using ajax. The implementation relies entirely on how your app works (i.e. how the page fetches the "progress" of the "process steps"). web2py.js has a js function to update the contents of the flash message and to display it (because usually it's hidden). try $.web2py.flash(message, status)
it will insert "message" into the flash and add "status" classes to the corresponding div.
