Subject: Dynamic Website Question!

Sure, you can try using the xmlhttp methods available in IE5+ or Mozilla / Netscape 7 (look up the docs on msdn.microsoft.com and mozilla.org). You might try getting away with a smaller screen refresh, or using a hidden but self-refreshing iframe and some Javascript Else, no, you're stuck with the yucky refresh. However, be aware 1) This is a PHP mailing list not a javascript or XML mailing list and 2) PHP stops after it leaves the server, so anything you do here is client side and therefore not a PHP problem.

Hi, I want to have a PHP website that feeds information off a mysql database. But generally changes occour and instead of asking users to refresh the page to get the updates is there a way to provide the updates without them needing to refresh the page? E.G. For like shooping Carts, Chat rooms, etc... Is there a way in PHP or something to make updates show up live as they happen instead of the yucky meta refresh tag in HTML? Thanks for your time in advance. Jerry
