There is a way to do this, its just that it depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
We all know how this works: Request ==> Server Side Proccessing ==> Response/Display Translates to: Make request ==> Cold Fusion ==> Client Scripting If you want the display layer to change based on actions or information after the request has ended, you have two options: Start a new request or gather information you will need to dynamicly change the display on the first request and change the content via client scripting. If you want to stop processsing something server side based on another process, you are talking about two processes that should be related but independant of each other in the first place. ;) To automate the two, use the cf scheduler. =P Nate Nielsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] 817.726.8644 ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 1:16 PM Subject: RE: CF and 'time' > tru dat.
