Forcing a refresh after changing innerHTML

[MattWoberts]

Hi,

I have an HTML page that creates an excel spreadsheet "on the fly". I am trying to write a percent complete thing, and am peridically changing the innerHTML of some text on the page to update a number. The problem is that the number wont update once until the page has finished creating the spreadsheet - is there a way of forcing the page to update/refresh the innerHTML once changed????

I have tried document.recalc() and also document.refresh(). The first does nothing and the second gives an error.

Any ideas welcome

you could try

window.self.location.reload()

dunno if it will work in this situation tho..

Tried window.self.location.reload() but it doesn't work It refreshes the whole window and seems to start back at the beginnning.
