I think in these cases that people usually write Javascript code on the client that performs a request and waits for a response. The server waits to respond to the request until the appropriate condition is met. This may increase the load on the server because it has to keep connections open even when nothing is happening, but I don't think there's really any other way to do it (other than polling which is arguably worse). -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
