I don't think it is, y'know. At least, not AJAX as it's commonly known these days - I don't think it's making much use of the XML-HTTP object. So maybe 'AJ' (without the 'AX') would be a better description of it! I think what it's doing (which I find interesting, so I'm going to share it with y'all) is using an IFRAME reference on an HTTP connection that never ends. There's a 'heartbeat' every tick, which contains a line like: <script>d(LOTS-OF-PRICE-PARAMETERS);</script> And the 'd' JavaScript function uses the LOTS-OF-PRICE-PARAMETERS to locate the right cell and update the price values. All of which strikes me as a kinda neat way of doing it... If you abstract away any browser issues, the DHTML could be quite straightforward, and it shouldn't be too difficult to put together the never-ending-page to stream the data through (a special HttpHandler maybe?)
