One old "trick" is to have a "hidden" (one pixel high) frame at the top or bottom of your screen. This frame can then be used for return trips to the server and the user sees nothing. The invisible Frame does the server work and refreshes itself (invisibly). Then you can use cross-window Javascript to access the new information from the visible frame.
