Process two pages simultaneously

[idesdema]

Greetings. I want to run two pages simultaneously based on the submittal of a form. On the page that the form calls I want to run code and display a cfm result. When that page opens I want another page kicked off that runs cf processes in the background. Currently I am using cfschedule but was wondering if there was another way.

You might use cfthread to handle the background process.

I should have mentioned this... I'm using cf7.

As well as the newest <cfthread...> option you also have gateways, web
services and custom tags that all have more or less asynchronous
capabilities.

Use <CFHTTP>.

What I'm doing now is after the form is processed, I redirect to a page that sets a scheduled task to run the other file and then redirect the user back to where they were before the form. Do you think that's a good solution or should I explore these other options???

Run the background page in a very small iframe.
