title: Dymamically Update jQuery in View From Controller in CodeIgniter
body: <p>OK, so in a project I am working on I have certain tasks that can be pretty tedious, mainly making complex searches through my data and then generating a pdf with a report of the search.</p>
  
  <p>The search is some complex sql and then I add data row by row to a pdf.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to use jQuery progress bar or something similar to display the % of rows.</p>
  
  <p>I realize that I can use jQuery .post() in my view to post to a controller and get a result to update, but this won't work for me is I want to use the progress of an executing function to update the view, not continually call a function on the controller.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to do this?</p>
