Is there a way to use realtime ajax charts with Jquery without having to set up a comet server ?
i’ve seen some pluging claiming to be realtime but at the end they just use setTimeout().
thoughts ?
i only need the chart to update once there’s a change in the server , not every second or such .
The only way I see doing this is with long polling or websockets. Without websockets, there’s no concept of server-initiated updates and you’re back to comet or other long-polling architectures.
