With this mechanism, you'd spawn a web worker to do jquery/ajax to check when it was time to replace the content. A couple of the examples calculate Pi, and paste the results into the main page. There is also web sockets in HTML5. <URL: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/html5/tutorials/making-html5-websockets-work.html > Gluon/contrib has websocket_messaging.py. I thought I remembered an HTML5 server push mechanisms for notifications, but if it's there I'm not looking in the right place.
