Display progress in browser using flush(); IE versus NS

Hi, I have a script which slowly processes several thousand lines of text. I want to give users a feeling for that the process is not dead. Thus, I am using: ... print "processing "; print" "; flush(); for($i=0;$i<count($total);$i++) { print". "; flush(); // do something time consuming } ... Works perfect in IE 5.5: It shows the word "processing" followed every 2 seconds (denpending on what I am doing) by a new period. But, in Netscape nothing shows up until the entire process has finished. When I push "stop" on the Netspace menu it shows what was transfered so far and "Transfer interrupted!" But, I would rather have it the way it is in IE. Any idea how to improve the code above? Thanks!
