Display text before ending the script

Hi!

I have a script that is taking some time to run and in my page, i've
placed some comments to be displayed on the webpage so I can know what
the script is currently running.
Unfortunately, the HTML page is displayed ONLY when the script is
entirely finished.
I'd like the comments placed within the script to be displayed as soon
as the script is reading them, not at the end!

(I don't know if i'm clear enough, here's an example)

CURRENTLY:

(script running)
....
(script end)
HTML page will show:
The script is starting...
Script step 1...
Script step 2...
Done!
WHAT I'D LIKE IT TO DO:

(script running)
The script is starting...
(script continues)
Script step 1...
(script continues)
Script step 2...
(script end)
Done!

Thanks!
Andrew

You need to turn the response buffer on and, when you want the output
sent to the client, flush the buffer

Response.Buffer = True
....
Response.Flush
....
Response.Flush

Hi there, a while ago, I posted a question regarding reading japanese text from a text file. Well, since I solved the problem, I thought I'd post my solution for the benefit of other people with the same problem. The plan was to make a script to read and display japanese text. I will use it for making a japanese proverb script and for a japanese language study script.

I have a large form that is generated dynamically in a jsp using xml / xslt. So, to break up this form into several "tabbed" sections, I break up the form using <div> tags. Each <div style="display:none"> can be displayed by setting the style attribute to "display:", or hidden with "display:none". This gives the illusion that the person filling out the form is switching from page to page...without the overhead of extra hits on the server,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
