I think the META refresh thing is probably the best solution.. and i suppose i could just write the whole output to a single file and insert the refresh tag there. I really want this handle by the web server (realising the limitation) so that any device that has a browser can be used... its really for very controlled situations like demo's so as long as it works is all that matters.

So, you want the passive users (audience) to be able to see what the active user is typing *as* he is typing it? Since webpages are sent via the HTTP protocol and it's not interactive, that really won't work. If you can live with the active user periodically submitting data to the website then this can easily be done. This seems kind of clunky though. You might be better off looking at more technology. All you really need is a PC with a wireless mouse and keyboard for the active user and a big monitor or projection system hooked up to it. I don't know enough details about what you're attempting so that might not work, but this seems more like a hardware issue than something that needs to be programmed.
