texte = This my first message to this group, so bear with me...I need to check for a flag in a database, when that flag is found, I need to update the screen by refresh or reload or even redirect. The problem that I am having, is that I need to check for this flag every one or two seconds. I have no problem with using javascript, it's just that currently I am stumped with what I can do.My only idea is this:-Set a loop (I'm not sure how many times per second the loop runs though) -Check the database in a showif -If the flag is found, redirect the page to itself Does this sound reasonable, or does someone else have a better idea?Thank you, Jeff Homan------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
