I've already posted about this, but I'm gonna try again:
Basically, I'm doing a big mail shot (around 2000 users)
using CFMAIL...but obviously this takes a while, and what with Coldfusion doing everything server side, there's no response from the page until EVERYTHING is sent.
However, I'd like to do a progress report indicator, and I'm having no luck.
Original workaround was this: do the mail in chunks (10%), and keep reloading the page. However, as the page reloaded, the indicator was on screen for a very small length of time, and it was flashy and...well, horrible, really.
Then I thought my best option was using a javascript window.open, but I had no luck using this either.
Does anyone have a reasonable workaround, or code that they could post! I'm desperate!!!!
