    I think (based on your question) you want to periodically check the server for messages ? this will require you to communcate between the client and the server. The best method for doing this is AJAX.

    AJAX is a method of sending a query to the server and retrieving information back – you can then display the retrieved information to the user (the messages).

    A good introduction to AJAX is here -> http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/ajax_intro.asp

    To get the delay between requests you can use setInterval -> http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_setinterval.asp

    Create a function in javascript to fetch and display the messages – then setup the setInterval function to call this method every x seconds / minutes as desired
