DoEvents in VBScript?

I am running through a client side loop on an asp page. During each pass in this loop, I want to change the innerText of a div on the page. Trouble is, the text in the div never changes until the sub is complete, and the div text is whatever the loop last set it to. I know DoEvents is not included in VBScript, but that's the functionality I need. Does anyone know of something that achieves what DoEvents achieves? How can I get the page to display the changes I make while the sub is still executing?

u can use the client side for it to.

if u use javascript like that.

<script language=javascript>
var numOfLayer=0;
function ChangeDiv(){
numOfLayer++;
window.divName.innerText or innerHTML=numOfLayer

setTimeOut('ChangeDiv()',500);//this reloads the function again every 500 mili seconds

if(numOfLayer==10){
clearTimeOut();//stopps the automatic calling
numOfLayer
}
}
</script>
