On-screen progress reports

[Kendo]

Okay...here's the deal...<br><br>I need to show the progress of a CFFILE write which is creating a comma delimited file of a large database.<br><br>I first of all thought about using a CFSLIDER to show a percentage report, but I don't know if it's possible to change the VALUE of the CFSLIDER and get it to update properly.<br><br>I wondered if instead I could perhaps just use a TD in a table, and keep updating the width of that, but I have no idea if screen updates are possible in ColdFusion... <br><br>Somehow I doubt anything I've written makes too much sense. There are obviously better ways to do this - I am open to all suggestions.

CF is a server-side processing language, which means everything written in CF will happen before the page downloads, including the CFFILE write, so by the time the user sees the page, the CFFILE has already completed executing....

Yes, fool that I am, I realised this about half an hour before reading your reply. Ah well. No harm done I guess...<br><br>
