Question

i am adding a auction section to my website , i can easily make a php version, however i wanted to make it look a bit better. I want for it to reload automatically, in other words the user sits there and watch all the other bids, new listings etc… happen infront of them without reloading the page.

Is it possible to do this with AJAX or Jquery.

Any tips or tutorials would greatly help me, i have had a look on google but have not found much close enough to what i want.

Thanks

Yes it is possible. Assuming that you know jQuery, the nature of AJAX requests and you want a live “stream” of the data for your auction, you might want to consider Comet methods of retrieving live data
