Here's a weird situation: I have a web application (classic ASP), and when a client organization updates specific user settings, the database needs to make some calculations for each user of that client. Not a problem. I can do this with AJAX, run additional pages remotely and get all of that done without reloading the page. So far, so good. The problem: When some of the larger clients make some of those specific changes, it ties up the database for a few minutes. Which means, the AJAX call does not get a return result until that's done. Is there any way to just send an AJAX or JavaScript call, let the page run and not worry about getting anything back? Basically, I just want to load and run another web page unattended. (I already know how to check and see whether the page is available, and tell the user when it's not; I just need to figure out a way to call the page without expecting any return results.) In classic ASP, I have tried this with Server.Execute and Server.Transfer, but in both cases the user ends up waiting for all the web pages to complete their thing . . . which sometimes wastes time unnecessarily. Any ideas? Is there some kind of AJAX functionality that would just send something like a "run" command to another web page?
