jsp page refreshing containing thread

[gk anand]

Hello All
I have trouble refreshing a JSP page which waits for a thread to complete.
In the mean time till the thread is not completed, it displays a message recurringly.
I have used setTimeout(location="MyJsp.jsp",1000);
By using this whole window including the status bar is also getting refreshed or rather re-loaded, which is not what i want.
I want only the message to be recurred for which i have the logic in a function written using javascript for displaying it recurringly till the thread is running.
Thank you in advance

I could not get to the correct solution, if possible kindly explain it here itself. I have visited your blog but could not get to the solution Eric.

I would brief out the required logic:
I am using setTimeout("location='MyPage.jsp'",1000);
which is refreshing the whole of the window, but without doing that my thread status is not being updated so kindly let me know the solution, it is very much required
Thank you in advance
