Let me give an example here so people know I'm not talking out my butt. I went through extensive research to figure this all out and then scrapped it because it didn't work the way everyone thinks it does.
A client uploads a .txt file and the cfserver has to read the .txt file and parse. The requirements were: -The corporate brandings be visible. -The user visually sees what's going on -- In this case, I had [0] of [records] displayed at all times and ... I got this working for _EACH_ record following Ray's tutorial and setting the interval to -1- (yes, it's harder on the server, but by damn, it looks cool seeing it count). The problem was... the way our site is structured, our headers / footers are contained with in a custom tag: <CF_TheShell> Application here, abstracted from the look and feel of the site. </CF_TheShell> CFFLUSH doesn't like that. Even when I broke the footer out to it's own CFINCLUDE file (header.cfm / footer.cfm) ... it still look stupid as it would display a half finished page and then spit out the rest afterwards. CFFLUSH really is a useless tag unless you're trying to do a very _basic_ thing with it. Anything fancy beyond the basic will disappoint you. Macromedia should flesh it out some more, but I'm sure they're answer would be "use Flash MX, have a nice day." ~Todd On Tue, 28 May 2002, Andre Turrettini wrote: > It all really depends what youre doing with this 1 minute page. if youre > doing something in your db that you can query, then you can do so in a > repeating manner and display the results each repeat.
