With DHTML, it's butt simple. For IE, it's _extremely_ easy. If you assign a div id to the text, I believe you can just do this in JS:
divname.innerHTML = ""; I'm a bit rusty when it comes to DHTML/JS, so you may want to check the docs - but it is possible. The other solution is - once your long process is done, save the results in cache (application scope, session scope, whatever), cflocation to another page and display the result there. Oh - wait - you can't cflocate - well, you can use JS to push the user. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: phumes1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:39 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: <cfflush > > > The <cfflush just works great for what I need it for but.... > > I'm using the <cfflush to display "Work in progress..." while > I'm executing > a batch file with <cfexecute and then display the results > from the program > to screen. > > Is there a way to have the "Work in progress..." disappear > once the results > from the <cfexecute have appeared.
