Subject: Dynamic Website Question!

[Neil Smth <php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sure, you can try using the xmlhttp methods available in IE5+ or Mozilla / 
Netscape 7 (look up the docs on msdn.microsoft.com and mozilla.org). You 
might try getting away with a smaller screen refresh, or using a hidden but 
self-refreshing iframe and some Javascript

Else, no, you're stuck with the yucky refresh.

However, be aware
1) This is a PHP mailing list not a javascript or XML mailing list and
2) PHP stops after it leaves the server, so anything you do here is client 
side and therefore not a PHP problem.

Cheers - Neil
