and i have to keep a not of time thru 100 pages.

the time should be continuous...

Why not just put a "start time" from "new Date()" and drop it in the HttpSession and then in each page calculate the remaining and elapsed time from that.

Hi Kyle,
Thanx for the reply..I think what u tell is totally right,
that can be done.But see that would display a static time...thats something like 5 minutes remaining.
but i want something like it should show me
5 min 30 sec
5 min 29 sec.....and so on
how can this be done..
pls help I know nothing is impossible in Java

But the HTTP request/response paradigm imposes its limitations - I don't suppose you'll like a refresh every second. Javascript time, I'm afraid. Try the HTML and JavaScript forum.
