Here's another suggestion for you. This only works with javascript ON. Have your html page load a image. Set the img's src to a perl script you write. Add a onLoad javascript tag.
<html><title>page.html</title>
<img src="http://www.myperlscripturl.cgi">
<body onLoad="window.location(page.html');">
</html>
Have the perl script open an image on your server and spit it out. Before the image-serving perl script dies, put it in a sleeped loop. Every loop the perl script checks your chat log file. When the chat log file has a new modification date, exit the perl script.
Upon exiting the loop, the javascript will now complete it's body onLoad function. This will give you a chat like webpage which will only refresh the html page when new live content is put on the server.
- Hope this helps.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
