I haven't heard of any really great way to do this, at least not using a web browser (non-applet) as your client. But there are some not-so-elegant solutions I know of that will work. One is to have a hidden frame on your page, that will continuously make requests to a JSP (or servlet) on the server (say every 5 seconds or so), and whenever the information has changed that JSP will return the JavaScript commands necessary to update the non-hidden frame. It's not pretty but it does work. If you don't want to use a hidden frame, you can also embed a small object of some kind (Flash? Applet?), say 1 pixel by 1 pixel, in the page that has the ability to poll the server and manipulate the document object model. If anyone else has an alternate solution I'd love to hear it. But as far as I know, like Saravanan said, a smarter client like applets (or ActiveX I guess) is the only good way to do it. -jmc =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
