Done. This is a lot nicer than the one I was using earlier  |

Just want to let you know that as I was changing channels last night on my TV, I was wondering how many clicks I'd be getting...  |

Not related to this topic, but ... I've never heard an American say this, but flipping channels on TV (my dad's a champion at that  ) is called zapping over here. The person who came up with that must've been some kind of fruitcake that thought the remote sent out a killer laser beam or something. |

| I've found a nice way to boost my rank without cheating: don't pulse for a while. I have well over 20,000 key counts ready to be pulsed now |

how does that boost your rank? |

I like your code structure, some pretty impressive code tactics ... thanks.
That's precisely it, dayve. Much of the delay is due to the grotesque method of obtaining that number. I was speaking with the Project Dolphin Admins yesterday evening and they did develop a new script which helps greatly, but there are bugs with it and I have not yet had a chance to address them. Thus, I am not using the new script in my code - yet. Once I do, it will be simply a matter of reading off a bunch of numbers and adding them up - all from one HTTP call instead of n+1 that I do now, n being the number of team members.
Can you set up a page that includes a sample of all working versions of the code we've made so far? That way any non-ASP techies can just go to the page, choose the style they want to use and then use it. IM me for more details on my train of thought. |

| Any idea why this script would cache on my production server, but not on my development box? My old script does not cache on either server. It'll go through the motions of loading and gathering data the first time for each user, then doesn't again. I get the same old data from any computer, over any ISP...including the server itself! |

Another good way to increase your keystrokes count is to turn of auto complete in Internet Explorer. That way you have to fill in all common form fields all the tim, by yourself :D

proxy server or browser cache are the only 2 offendors I can think of. |

Home PC, work PC, another server on the same subnet as my server, and THE server *itself* cached the exact same old value once it was hit by one box. My server is doing the cacheing for some reason of only this page. No other pages cache.
I've even set the OutputCache directive to see if I could force it on/off and it's still not working. I set the output cacheing to one minute on my dev box and it worked great. Uploaded it to my server, same problem. Very bizarre. |

Jeepaholic, that is EXTREMELY bizarre and I regrettably do not have any more ideas as to why.
BWJM, I will build a sample page here shortly. BTW, I am using the Team Totals retrieval
method I mentioned earlier in this post and it appears to be a lot quicker than the looping
routine. ;) |

okay, but it looks really ugly ;) I'm sure you'll find a better way BWJM
http://dayve.d2g.com/projectdolphin_detail.txt
keep in mind that this is NOT an edit of the last code you sent me with all the
parameters. I probably should have edited that one instead, but I was so focussed
on getting the team totals another way that I realized later I was editing an earlier
version. ;)
