Hello my friends,

I want to set up a chatroom, but, if the data manipulation doesnīt seem to be a problem using mysql, as I plan to, the refresh for the message frame is. I am not sure of how to do it.

I know thereīs the obssessive approach - wich is telling this frameīs cgi-generated html to refresh every n seconds. But I would like to get the page to refresh only when some new message has been sent my some user.

Is this server push?

Also, Iīm completely lost regarding how the script scheme should be?

Can you guys give me some directions? I really donīt want to use ready-made scripts.

Thanks a lot
