Run client side function as a thread

[Segi]

I came across Dave's post at http://forum.ebasetech.com/forum/viewto ... ght=thread about running Java threads. I am trying to figure out how to apply that logic to my scenario.

On the client side, I make a call to a client side function called generateReport() using $eb.executeFunction. This function can take a while to process and generate the report. What I'd like to do is run that function as a separate thread so that generateReport() does not lock up the browser while the function is being executed.

How could you do something like this ?

That's what $eb.executeFunctionAsynchronously() is for. It provides a mechanism to execute a function on the server and notify you when the function completes, in the meantime the browser user can carry on.

Jon,

Thank you. This is exactly what I was trying to accomplish
