Module development and code questions

hi,

i'm seeing a problem with the navigation module when the i18n module is enabled. with either the block menu or tabs, if a parent menu item has a child, it doesn't expand as it should when you select it from the menu (for menu, source shows class=collapsed when it should be expanded). as soon as i disable the i18n module, the child items are displayed as they should be when a parent is selected. i'm using URL rewriting for i18n for translation of the interface and content.

Hello everybody,

Here is the code:

Hello,

I need to run a task which a user launches with a form button. This task may take upwards of a minute or so to complete. Is there a way I can give feedback to a user so they don't think the process died?

Thanks.
