You might be able to munge something using a hidden frame
and Javascript polling, but it would be an unneccessarily heavy
load on your server.
Ideally, this sounds like a server-broadcast situation:
- write a client applet that connects to the
server, registers, and gets the initial values;
- write a login server script that registers
clients and returns an initial data set;
- write an update server script that updates
the database and broadcasts updates to all
registered clients.
I would have the client re-register hourly and
automatically expire registrations more than
an hour-and-a-bit old.
