Hi Firstly I must confess I am not a Java Script developer. However I would like to create a simple script that fires off consecutive requests for the same URL so that I can performance profile my WebServer and WAS using IEWatch. Unfortunately IE aborts a request as soon as it sees a subsequent request for the same URL. Essentially what I am trying to do is to write a script which does synchonous GETs and measure the time taken for each GET - is there a way of forcing this synchronous behaviour in IE or tricking IE to wait for a response before going on to the next request? Advice gratefully received. -- Howard Ricketts SoftCASE Consulting www.softcase.co.uk

Consider using XMLHTTPRequest object. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dhtmltechcol/cols/dnwebteam/webteam09032001.asp for a sample. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous requests. -- With best wishes, Igor Tandetnik With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925
Thanks Igor for your response - tried out what you suggested but it appears we are using an IE build which does not allow use of ActiveX. -- Howard Ricketts SoftCASE Consulting www.softcase.co.uk "Igor Tandetnik" wrote: > Howard Ricketts wrote: > > Firstly I must confess I am not a Java Script developer.

Hello, HR> Thanks Igor for your response - tried out what you suggested but it HR> appears we are using an IE build which does not allow use of HR> ActiveX. Won't the ActiveX security settings help? Internet Options, the "Security" tab and the last one for Advanced Settings. (H) Serge
Unfortunately here in JPM the Security tab is locked down so I cant change the level of security I apply. -- Howard Ricketts SoftCASE Consulting www.softcase.co.uk "Serge Baltic" wrote: > Hello, > > HR> Thanks Igor for your response - tried out what you suggested but it > HR> appears we are using an IE build which does not allow use of > HR> ActiveX. > > Won't the ActiveX security settings help?
