Re: Any way to display a changing value?

Hi! You could use a plain form and JavaScript to do this. It's fairly simple and it makes for nice little progress bars and graphs and other 'realtime' info. A few tips: - first output the form (completely) - use *implicit* flushing when outputting your JS. - use a new <SCRIPT> .. </SCRIPT> part every time you sent commands (for Netscape) - do all calculations and stuff in PHP, minimize your JS code to something like echo("document.myform.mytext.value = '" . addslashes($newval) . "';\n"); - try to do updates 'smartly', i.e. on when the values *really* change, and not with infinite speed. bvr.

I know about flush(), but that just prints it out before the >script ends, but doesn't display it in one place. Is there a way?
