How can I download new content in a HTML script? More specifically, I’m looking for a way to update a page without it being completely reloaded. I have searched Google to no avail. Most probably I don’t know the proper search query to enter.
My home project is a chat site with “lazy loading” or “infinite scrolling” content from input of its users.
Two side questions:
Is the best application for this project PHP, Java, or something else?
How is a Javascript paused without blocking?
The proper search query is “ajax”.
Normally one would use PHP for your requirements, but I would suggest to use a programming language you are already comfortable with. I.e. if you already know Java then use it.
For a “techy-er” chat app, you may research on “server push”
