Blair, Klaus, thanks for the help. I
was able to use your code with minor modifications.
As a followup question, when I use the $("#report").load("bentonite.cfm?dataType=html")
syntax, the report div is not expanding to fit the content of the data being
returned; it’s always just 1 em tall. If I use the .ajax syntax as
I originally posted, it does expand to fit. Strange? Common?
Thanks again
Paul

You need setInterval... here's my attempt:
var interval;
function refreshData() {
if (interval) clearInterval(interval);
$("#report").load("bentonite.cfm");
interval = setInterval(refreshData, 3000);
return false;
};
$(function() {
refreshData();
$(refreshlink).click(refreshData);
});
A manual refresh resets the interval update here.
I think a periodic updater would make a nice little plugin. Maybe it is
even option for some future version of jquery to have another option for
$.ajax like:
periodic: 3000
