Re: Sending Response Objet to client without request.

[Mike Silvers]

HTML is the result of a request to the server, and after the response is sent from the server, the server has no idea that the client is there until it receives another request.  You could have the page refresh every xx seconds, but this would cause a big overhead for the server.  You could also do this using applets -- the server can communicate with the applet sessions.  Most HTML based chat programs work with applets for this reason.   Mike   ----- Original Message ----- From: Galbreath, Mark To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 7:15 AM Subject: Re: Sending Response Objet to client without request.
