Thanks for this. Looks a very interesting article, and exactly what I'm 
looking for.

Thanks Leon for your reply too.  I do already make use of JS and 
XMLHttpRequest in my pages but they are all driven by the client / JS code.

The new project will see 20+ users all managing a jobs list status page. 
Rather than have all 20+ browsers poll the server every n seconds, I want a 
method where if one user updates a job status it updates the server, and the 
server then kicks the other clients into pulling the update.

The websockets above may well be the answer I need.
