Content Before Data

[larrygot]

We want the html content of a template to appear before the dynamic processing by ColdFusion is complete. This way, some statement like "working ..." can appear on the screen. Can do with asp by using the buffer statement. How can we do this with ColdFusion?

you can use <cfflush> which sends back the HTML headers and any other available HTML.

some html code goes here
<cfflush>

some other stuff goes here.

We're running CF 4.5 which doesn't support this tag. Any other way?

You can have an intermediary page with a 'please wait', or 'getting data' message that then calls the long script.
