Check out pushlets: http://www.fluidiom.com:8080/.  It pushes (streams) JavaScript to a hidden frame on the browser where it is then executed which updates the page.

Subject: Re: Real time web page?

Dave,

It is limited by the HTTP protocol that the web server cannot 'push' data. The only pure HTML solution I'm aware of is to put a meta tag onto the page to ask the browser to refresh (i.e. 'pull') the page periodically:

  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3;URL=http://www.some.org/some.html">

Things like Macromedia Flash and Shockwave may provide real-time data pushing. But I'm not sure.

Hi everyone.  We are starting a new project and have a requirement for real-time
updates in a web browser.  Does anyone know of any tools that allow for this,
apart from applets?

Cheers,

Dave
