dynamic update

[enigma261]

Hi,

I am trying to accomplish the following ...
I have a form via which I want to execute 10 tasks (processes)
The 10 processes are execute sequentially.

I want the web page to reflect the status as each task is being run ..
For Ex...

Task 1 : Running ...
Task 2 : Waiting launch
..
..
..
..

And, the status will change depending on the current status of the
task.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks

Good for you.

For Ex...

Task 1 : Running ...
Task 2 : Waiting launch

And, the status

Of what?

will change depending on the current status of the
task.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks

Whats it got to do with Perl?

Generate 10 sequential redirections.... (to a self updating script even...)

Thanks Peter,

Your suggestion would work for sure.
After posting the question, I did some searching and found
the concept of "server push" in cgi.pm module.

It is designed just for continuously updating webpages ..
A good example is a clock that refreshes time at designated interval

thanks
