http/html/ajax: show result before site is completely processed
- by chris
hi!
I am looking for a way to show in a webapp in front of a task a wait-message and after it hide the message. The task is running a longer time. I dont know if it is possible at all.
The problem is, so far I can see, that the site will be returned to the users browser AFTER the task is completed because the task is part of the site as a inline code replaces by the webserver interpreter (no matter if php, perl or whatever).
The only solution I can imagine is to parallel the task with threads or processes and requery the state with ajax in the website.
Any idea to do it less complex? Thanks for help!
regards
chris
