you can't!.

you will need to periodically refresh the page to check for updates.

you could use ajax to that in the background, but there is no way to "push" data to an end=user.

it might be possible using flash...

i made an ajax based im program last winter.
it used serverless webspace to store the current message in a tiny text file.

i defaulted to checking every 30 seconds normally, and every 7 seconds when the last change was within 5 mins.

if anyone know a better way, i think this is an interesting idea, and would like to see some examples.

WordPress is blogging software. It isn't just HTML. You cannot do what the OP is asking to do in HTML alone.

yes ... since a html-page is only a clientside-representation within the browser you cannot create a chat-program with it. you may create a form that submits data (messages) to a server where it has to be stored in any way so that the counterpart of your chat is able to pull the message from there. for that purpose serverside technologies are not avoidable ... so the simple answer is: you cannot create a chat-program with html only ... even not with html and javascript (clientside js of course) ... serverside programming has always to be involved for that purpose ... (software may hide that ... but it is involved ... i don't know of any possibility to do it without any serverside actions) ...

kind regards ...
