You are correct that Comet is a way to update information after the page is
loaded. I think there's a simpler way using ajax, but I haven't explored those
areas of Lift yet. But meanwhile you need to have the xml specifying the comet
actor be dynamic. So you need to have that xml be generated by a snippet. A
snippet is an XML to XML function.

Let me start again. Maybe I am misunderstanding when Comet should be
used. In my application, people search for web pages. I do a lot of
processing for each resulting page. First I just display the links and
then as the processing is finished, the links on the page are
automatically modified with the data I just found for each link. This
is all working fine.
But, the session is being shared among all users so if I make one
search in one browser, and then make another search from another
browser, I get the results from the first browser.
David suggested I name each CometActor differently. That is not
working, though maybe I am not doing it right.
