The new hipness is comet (new for me, @ least), & this plugin will take care of the inconsistencies between browser capability for streaming.
- For IE, it uses the ihtmldocument2/iframe hack, as used with gtalk & described in http://alex.dojotoolkit.org/?p=538 - Mozilla & Opera use xmlhttprequest, with slightly different implementations. - Safari & Konqueror (webkit) currently is not supported, due to lack of support for xmlhttpreqest's interactive readystate. I have not tried to adjust the iframe technique for this browser engine yet, so I don't know if it's possible. Comet still requires a server-side component for efficient processing, but @ the simplest level, all that's needed is a while loop with a sleep call (example uses this technique). I don't consider this a full release yet, as there are several modifications I plan to make, but feel free to comment & offer suggestions about how to make it more efficient.
