hidden frames are the best way to do this. just a query that run in the hidden frame and everything say 30 seconds or so, retireve the information from the server and then you can use javascript to paste the message to another frame.

We have an app that has roughly 4-5,000 users accessing it. We would like to be able to push a message to the user at anytime without them having to refresh a page. Is there a way to do this...Maybe using hidden frames or flash???
