Doug. Running a scheduled task once a minute would likely be rather intensive to the server. You're going to know the auction id when someone places a bid, why not just do an update to the database table at that point?
Also, you could use AJAX to update the ending time. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.

I have been trying to fugure something out that is simply eluding me. My app is an auction, and what I am trying to do is have it where when somebody bids on an item say within 2 minutes of auction close, the auction time is is increased by 5 minutes. I am pretty sure I have that part figured out by doing a scheduled task and having it run once a minute. The part I am trying to figure out, is displaying the new auction time to the browser without refreshing the page. Is this possible? How can it be done if it is?
