I'm writing some things in a stream to the browser, to keep the user informed that stuff is happening while a long-winded process unfolds.

When that process has ended, I want to publish a DTML template as a new page. How can I end the HTTP stream and start a new one?

def someFunction(self, REQUEST): response = REQUEST.RESPONSE # do something longwinded response.write("please wait") # do something else longwinded

# now I want the following DTML Method to get displayed return self._report_template(self, REQUEST)

I like to do this using frames in the browser. I use javascript in the dispatching page in one frame - or it could be in the frameset - and the longwinded report will display in another frame. Before submitting the form, I use javascript to write a message (e.g., "Please Wait...") to the display frame. The message will stay there until the display frame reloads with the longwinded page. Works like a charm, although of course the client browser has to use javascript. Cheers, Tom P
