Re: Update message on web page while processing

You could just use a meta refresh

Thanks to both of you for your replies. Unfortunately I'm bound to
actually running the process from the web page.

If I go the Frame route ... let's talk about the page that monitors the
job. What javascript or HTML tag is required to autopost back every minute
or so to check on the status of the job?

Thanks again.

Mark

Can you use the web to start the process and check on it, and use a
service on the web server to do the job - that makes life very simple and
will make creating a solution very simple also. Otherwise, spawn your
intial request into a frameset, and have one frame page request the job
starts, and the other polling for status. You could use an iframe if you
dont want to use a traditional frameset.

I'm building a web utility to do some processing that will run for
several hours. Assume I have a valid reason for using the web for the
utility. During the process I'd like to display an update on the job's
status while not stopping the process that is running. It does not need
to be pretty. I'd be quite happy with a quick Response.Write("Job has
finished consuming 300 of 9356 bananas"); or similar. I don't care if
the message is replaced or appended to.

What is the easiest (doesn't need to be pretty on the UI) method for
posting information back to the page while continuing to process?

Thanks!

Mark
