[web2py] Re: Ajax page update

[Ross Peoples]

Polling with JavaScript is the most common way. However, there is a way to 
use comet, which allows the server to push updates immediately to clients, 
but I've never used that, it's still experimental, and may be difficult to 
set up. Unless you need instant updates (like with an instant messaging 
app), then sticking with JS polling, checking for updates every 10, 20 
seconds or so should be sufficient.
