What I’m trying to do is force a webpage to update with new content without refreshing when it is set on the server.
Ideally a user would be looking at a blank page that would update with specific content when it is set on the server or in the database.
Any ideas on how I could go about doing that?
Traditionally, the client (ie the web browser) would poll the server every so often to fetch new data.
However, there are a number of server push frameworks out there. Have a look at the following article on COMET. I believe this is used by such sites as meebo and Chess.com (for playing live chess online in the browser).
