This question crops up every so often. My best answer is still to treat the request as a batch request, i.e. program design. Simply initiate the request, and provide a link to fetch the data when it becomes available. (email is always an option as well.) Holding an http connection for 10 miniues introduces problems, and any failures might cause the user to post multiple queries, each one often needing to complete before being aborted.

I have a jap page that takes about 10 minutes to run....that is ok...it should take that long.. My problem is that I want to display some of the output while the user is waiting. I'm doing document.writes as I'm running the query and it should display, but the browser seems to wait until the whole 10 minute process is done before displaying anything....Is there anyway to change this and display some of the query output while the system is looping thru my query? _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8 is here: Try it free* for 2 months http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/dialup =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
