Choose a browser in which window.status displays, or can be set to, an
updating status line or part-line while code is running. IE8, Opera
11.52, Safari 5.1.1, for example.

Test : for (J=0 ; J<1e6; J++) if (!(J%1e5)) window.status = J


Choose a browser in which the screen, or a certain element, updates, or
can be set to, a line while code is running.  Testing is easy enough.


You may cover more browsers by setting both of the above.  TIEE.

Run your code 100 things at a time, with the end of a block writing the
status to something and starting the next block after a short timeout
which will allow redraw.  You have already been told how to do that.
