web app that monitors and automatically updates..

[vermon]

Is there any way to make a web app that updates automatically when the
server updates some flags? An example would be a web mail interface that
automatically updates the new email count as emails arrive. I guess one way
is to have the page reload every x seconds, but that it is not elegant at
all.

- Thanks!

Hi,

you could do a similar thing, set a timer in the page, this timer call a
function that call a url if the url changed you can update the interface or
do something.

You could do a search on javascript pages/NG for a more detailed solution,
anyway I think that i can doable with not too much trouble

Cheers,
