Hi Ed,
Even though I'm just a newbie, I hope I can still help. I haven't yet used
<cfexecute> for processes that take a while to execute, but I think ColdFusion
will not send the rest of the HTML (you're using HTML, right?) to the client
unless the preceding <cfexecute> finishes.
Therefore, perhaps this solution would work:
<img src="status_msg.gif" name="statmsg" id="statmsg" />
<cfflush>
<cfexecute...
</Xcript>
document.statmsg.src = "done.gif";
</Xcript>
After <cfexecute> finishes, we just use JavaScript to dynamically change the
image.
