# re: Real Progress Bars in Web Application

Hi Roy!
We spoke about this before one month approx(on C++/C# community meeting).
Really nice solution, but there is few problems, IMHO.
It blows out not consistent HTML.
But, I think, it is easy enough to find work arownd.
Next - Flush is not best practices from performance point of view.
May be next solution will good for you:

You create iframe for drawing progress bar , refreshes each 3 sec, for instance.
IFrame request turns to any static field of the object that you are working with in the main page , that indicates progress state.
On this field's value IFrame's page Request draw what do you need.
Why this may be better - at least you don't interrupt processing of your current response with flushing.

If I not enough explained myself - you welcome email me:

I wrote some code on this same subject back in July. Thought you might enjoy taking a look at it. Pretty much on line with what Julien did recently.
