No. Comet "just" passes a stream of HTML to the browser that contains embedded script-tags. Which can contain whatever JS you like, using MK, Dojo, jQuery... whatnot. > Furthermore, doesn't Comet/http push/long polling require some > modifications to > your *server* to do it right?? (e.g. event driven instead of > multithreaded ??) Of course, yes. The server must keep open a connection to the client. This can be reached with a thread (there was some decorator or such posted quite a while ago on this list to accomplish that in TG), but it doesn't scale to well. For that, you need asychronous programming techniques.
