Can't be done as such, without using something like ActiveX or a Java applet

that maintains a persistant connection to the server, or some client side

code that can trap client-side clicks (eg javascript) and increment a

counter that it then sent to the server.



Could I recommend a primer on the stateless nature of the WWW - HTTP v1.1

Hi 



If you want to go from client to server to do some processing have you

thought about using popups.



I use Javascript to launch a popup which runs a server side ASP script to

run my page com objects. The popup launches at its smallest size and also

off screen.



If I then need to update something on the main window I can use

opener.document.form.control.value="xyz".



If I need to feedback to the user ie an error I just move the popup to

centre and size it so the user can see with a button that does a

self.close()



Works well.
