I have a page that generates content in a <tbody></tbody> dynamically.

The thing is if there is about 167 or so records it takes some time to render them so I put a tag like:

<div id="str_status"> </div>

and in my js I have

function blah()
{
document.getElementById("srt_status").innerHTML = "rendering";
..
..
..some code here that takes a bit of time
..
..
document.getElementById("srt_status").innerHTML = "";
}

Problem is I never see the "rendering" ..... Looks like it renders all at once and is not updating as the steps occur.
