Refresh page after user downloads file

A

Altman

I am really scratching my head with this and can't figure out how to do
it or if it is possible. I have page that the user selects the items
they want to import into their local program. The user then hits ok
which the server then generates a text file which shows the file
download box to the user. The user then saves the file to their local
machine. All this works fine. What I would like to do after the user
has downloaded the file, is to refresh the page to show the user that
they have downloaded the items they selected. How can I do this? Is
it possible?

have the download target another window (use anchor with target), then have
the main page poll for the download to compete (say with a hidden frame).
