Hi, I'm using the progress bar code I found in this forum. Problem is, I can't get response.flush to work in IE6. It works fine in Netscape, but not IE. Nothing appears on screen until the entire script is processed. Any ideas? This is driving me crazy...

Cookster

can u post u r code.

And make sure that response.buffer should be true.

You should set response.buffer=true. But if you do not set this, it should give an error.

I would suggest putting response.buffer=false so that whatever is ready for display will get displayed in browser immediately.

If you are putting all your code in a single outer table, then flushing the buffer is not of any use. Some browsers will wait till the ending table tag is found.

You may breakup the page into a number of small small horizontal tables of equal width and same alignment, you can override this problem.

BTW, have you heard about table-less design ? You may visit following links in your free time.

Here's my code. It's basically the same code found in the example. I added a delay loop in the middle to slow down execution speed so I could see the effect.

Again, this works in netscape, but not IE6. I don't have IE 5 (IMS rules) so I can't test it on another version of IE.

<%Response.Buffer = True
server.scriptTimeout =25000
%>
<div id="ProgBar" style="font-family:Verdana; font-size=9pt;">Progress:<BR>
<TABLE style="color:red;" HEIGHT="16" Border=1>
<TR><TD BGCOLOR=RED ID="statuspic"></TD></TR></TABLE>
</div>
<script language="Javascript">var progBarWidth=250;
</script>
<%
iProcessedSoFar = 0
iTotalRecords = 300
ii = 0
strHTML="<Table width='80%'><TR><TD Width='100%' BGCOLOR='gray' align='CENTER'>Results:<TD><TR>"
for i = 0 to iTotalRecords

strHTML = strHTML & "<TR width='100%'><td width='100%' BGCOLOR='#FFCC66'>Your results</td></tr>"
    'added delay loop
    for ii = 0 to 40000
    ii = ii +1
    next
iProcessedSoFar = iProcessedSoFar + 1
pctComplete = (iProcessedSoFar / iTotalRecords)
    If i mod 8 = 0 then
        ShowProgress pctComplete
        response.write pctComplete & "<BR>"
    End if
Next
FinishProgress

strHTML=strHTML &"</TABLE>"
Response.write strHTML

Sub ShowProgress(nPctComplete)
response.write "here"
Response.Write "<SCR" & "IPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>" & vbCrlf
Response.Write "statuspic.width = Math.ceil(" & nPctComplete & " * 250);" &vbCrlf
Response.Write "</SCR" &"IPT>"
response.flush
End Sub

Sub FinishProgress
'Response.Write "<SCR" &"IPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>" & vbCrlf
'Response.Write "ProgBar.style.visibility ='hidden';" & vbCrLf
'Response.Write "</SCR" &"IPT>"
End sub
%>

More info. I've tried this code on a few other PCs, all with IE6, and it works fine. I must have some kind if IE6 bug or something on my PC. Oh well...

This code is working perfectly in my PC. It is correct also.

You may first check the security settings in your PC. If "Active scripting" is disabled, this won't work.

If problem persists, you may have to re-install IE browser.

Yes, looks like the problem is with your IE settings. As Madhu suggested, check if that ("Active scripting") is enabled. There is nothing wrong with the code posted here, that works fine for me.
