Refreshing only one object

[cognosun]

Hi Gurus,


I've got 4 Objects in the report page ( 3 lists and 1 chart).

As part of the requirement I need to refresh the chart object ( there will be a finish button for this object)...Can I refresh only this Chart object on the page, so that while refreshing only this object should dynamically process...where as, at the same time other objects should be look stable and static.

Many thanks,
Joys

There are a few thoughts that come to mine, but let's start with defining the requirements and the structure of the page.

What is the expected work flow of the report? For example, does the user open a prompt page, select several parameters which affect all four options, then change the selected parameters which would now only affect the chart?

Are the lists affected by the prompts at all? If not, why not just use a standard refresh button?

Does the chart need to refresh with the rest of the page not refreshing? Maybe because the run time for the lists are excessive, or someone really really hates seeing that spinning hourglass?
There are a few possibilities here. You can use iframes or CMS (with an SDK license apparently).
