Hi Gary,
From your description, you are wanting to build a web component which can
make the page post back itself once every serveral seconds,yes?
There does exist some means to do such task, you can try the following
means:
1. The standard html <meta> tag can help set to make a page refresh it self
constantly by a certain period of time.
#HTML META refresh tag

2. The "window.setTimeout" and "window.setInterval" can help call a
function after a certain period or repeatedly by a period. That is
something like a clienttimer, you may have a look at the following links:
#Javascript window.setTimeout

#Javascript window.setInterval

Hope helps.
