which would be the same as just waiting for the texexec job to finish
and then finish loading the website.

But, as far as I can see, the user would see an empty page until
texexec stops (perhaps depending on the browser).

yuck, this looks very evil to me.


What I try to achieve is to be able to use the live... without
javascript. And I still haven't found a good way of doing so. I'll
stop the popup with the output, and I think I will wait for the
website to load until the texexec jobs finishes.

Patrick (thanks also for all the other suggestions)
