Michael,

But how does the afro api do this?  It is not even a question of
client-server communication, it is really about browser rendering.  The
method I imagine would be called something like appendHTML() instead of
setHTML(), and would somehow tell the browser to only redraw the new html.
So I'm pretty sure it's a DHTML trick I'm after.  My gut tells me its not
possible, but I thought I'd at least check to make sure.  By the way, thanks
for the explanation of the afro api.

Jonah

This is where the AfroAPI may be needed : ).  It allows for talking to the
server ans requesting only the new rows.  Than all you need to do is add
then to
the bottom.  It very hard to get the dynapi to do this successfully.
