in thread unbuffering I/O with objects

i hate to say anything nice about M$ products -- but IE ( 5.0 ) gives me the behavior i want - Netscape ( 4.73 ) doesn't.

and it can be done -- it's a matter of manipulating the way the browser performs its rendering tasks.

update: i checked Mozilla's rendering, and it performs as desired as well.

so it's a matter of getting Netscape to cooperate

    A standard browser is not required to "partially render" a page. The fact that some browsers try to make sense of the input stream as seen so far is merely gravy. It's not that Netscape 4 is deficient—it's that some other browsers are trying to be uber-friendly.

      it may not be a 'requirement' -- but even Netscape ( I _really_ should be saying Communicator - Netscape was a company and is now a brand, but i digress. . ) will give the desired results with a combination of unbuffered output and <BR> tags.

      i was trying to avoid using the vertical real estate if possible.
