I know this sounds weird but what is the easiest way to pause the excecution of a jsp or servlet. I want the page to pause for a specified number of minutes so I can test response timeout features in netscape and IE. I have a form page that asks the number of minutes to wait and sends the request to a jsp page which I want to wait that amount of time before sending a response. is there a setTimeOut method or something similiar that i can use such as <% waitTime = request.getParameter("waitTime"); wait(waitTime); %> Daniel (Buster) Nimmons Information Management Specialist Phone: (713) 845-4991 CELL #:(281) 224-8013 Fax #: (713) 640-8717 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
