Update Query Runs On

Question

I have a simple index page that lists a set of records, each
having an anchor tag, which when clicked opens a detail page
providing details of that record. The detail page for the record
provides for the update of any content that is changed on the form.
Everything appears to run fine when the update button is clicked -
and the database updates. Now if I return to to the index page
after the update I find that the page properly refreshes and data
may, or may not appear in light of the changes just made on the
update page and because of the filter that is part of the SQL of
the index page query. However, even though the page is propery
refreshed the status bar on the bottom of the browser indicates
that some sort of query activity is going on as evidenced by the
painting of a left-to-right series of blue squares. Although this
circumstance does not appear to inhibit the updating of records -
the status bar activity is a concern. I surmise that the update
process is not quite wrapped up. Any comments you might have about
this scenario and a possible solution would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Nope that status bar has nothing to do with and no knowledge
of the
update process. It is the browser waiting on the current page
to finish
processing, and the way you have describe your system, the
update has
completed before this page was even started.
