doevents?

[DNA7433]

is there a way to create a loop that runs forever in the background and updates a text field on the website? when i type in doevents it highlights it like its a keyword but gives a script error when loading the page

i want to make a countdown in vbscript thats accurate to a second and counts down in real time and just places the count in a FONT tag, the only thing i need is how to perform the loop without locking up the webpage

thanks

The ASP has to run to completion, so you can't have an indefinate loop, you could never finish loading the page.

You can do the same thing you want to do with a client side script. Look up the doco on setTimeout().
