Does anyone know if it's possible to do multiple AJAX responses to a

What do you mean? One HTTP request gets one response. That's the way
the protocol works
Indeed, every HTTP request only yields one response. What you are
looking for is a PeriodicalExecuter or PeriodicalUpdater (javascript
polling every xx seconds). Another way to go is a push notification
system, which is more difficult to implement and host (forget about
hosting it on a shared host). Juggernaut or Comet should help you out
there. But unless you really know what you are doing, the periodical
execution way is going to give you the least amount of problems.
