That's not true - it *is* possible (something called server push) - this is how a few webcam things I've seen on linux work - not sure of details and don't think it's possible in CF - will have a look later if I have time

Technically - one could write a custom server (flash comm?) that fed to a Flash app, or a applet... and when the custom server detected a change in the data.. (database triggers!) it fired out a event to the clients.. which then fire off some javascript... and presto.. refresh! why you would go to all that trouble, I'm not sure... but you could do it! :o) Mark ----------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 3094740 Safe From Bees [www.safefrombees.com] --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/
