This is off-topic, but I need an answer pretty quick, and I *am* writing this app
using mod_perl, so its sorta related (also, I don't want the headache of
re-subscribing to a new list).
You know those online web-based tech support chat systems? Its commonly frame based,
but its just like IRC, but over HTML. when a user posts a message it immediatly pops
up on the chat frame, and you submit your message through a regular-ol' HTML form. I
don't think this is an applet, because this works in all sorts of browsers. I think
its javascript, but I'm not sure. My main question, is when the server knows that a
new message has been posted, how does it push that new page out to the client web
browser? I'm used to all page-views originating from the client...not the server.
Any ideas?
