This should get you started:
(function($) {
$(document).ready(startComet);
function startComet() {
$.ajax({
url: 'myCometServer.php',
complete: onComplete
});
};
function onComplete(xhr, status) {
if (status == "success") {
var json = xhr.getResponseHeader('myCometHeader');
$.globalEval('('+json+')');
startComet();
}
else {
// handle errors
}
};
})(jQuery);
