Hi all

A much clearer way for you a programmer, and much more reliable way for
the end users, is using AJAX.
Since you rely on JavaScript anyway with your solution, AJAX should be
no objection.
EG, let JS poll every 5 seconds on the server asking if the task is
done, maybe saying which percentage is done in the meantime.
You don't even need a popup/popunder for that.
That way your solution will probably also work on next version of
IE/FF/webserver/etc.

Right...
I have earlier used some inline frames for similar stuff... and I
guess you might right, we had problems back then too.
I guess I have to read a bit about that.
