Re: best way to flush stdout?

For almost every browser there is, no data inside a <table> will be displayed until the browser get's the matching </table>, so that's one thing to remember. flush() "requests" that any buffered data be sent to the client, but most browsers have their own internal buffer. So in other words, you can't. ;) Plutarck "Phil Glatz" <phil@glatz.com> wrote in message news:5.1.0.14.2.20010521100153.03278138@flawless.net... > I have a page that displays a few lines, then runs a database query that > takes five or six seconds.
