That's the way we do it, regularly poll from the server if changes
happened using a Web Service. If the information changed, the
corresponding zone in the web page is updated using DOM (client-side, no
postback). This is very comfortable and our users like it a lot. But
it's still a poll, i.e. a request/respose mechanism. Short of a Java
applet (or another plug-in using its own port), I don't see a way to
notify a client without it sending a request first.
