I have several long processes that are run in succession when a user clicks a button on a web form. How can I write messages to the form during the processing to inform the user as to what is going on?

Like say I have 3 steps that need to happen after a user clicks a button. What happens now is that all three steps are run in succession and even if I put something in between steps to change the Text of a text box it still won't show up until after the 3 steps are done.

It's like a need a repaint or force a post back or something but how? :eek:
 
I think that should be done with Javascript and timer in the javascript..

I did something similar to this couple of yrs ago...the scenario was after like, 1 minute, i popped up a page with javascript telling the user something is going to happen , then user clicked on the pop-up and closed the window...

Dont think it can be done server side.
