Just have the frame replace itself every 1000 miliseconds. Be sure each time to pass in the old, "Maximum known update counter", and just send back all new known updates, and you will be sending a series of small, independent documents. Furthermore if you do it with a replace (or whatever the meta equivalent is) then you won't generate those annoying history items. Cheers, Ben

Faster than a MOVIE >> We'll be supporting several thousand clients, all receiving realtime updates to their browsers at a rate of 6-40 per second. << Do you mean that the data changes up to 40 times per second, or that the users screen has to change 40 times per second? That is faster than most movie refresh rates, and movies are usually buffered and not customized per user. Hell of a requirement. I suggest you look into missle guidence techniques or something. You are gonna need high-end stuff. I doubt off-the-shelf browsers can cut it. ________________ oop.ismad.com
Post #12,456 by admin 10/9/01 2:17:19 PM Reply	Re: 40 per second? Faster than a MOVIE 40 fields updating per second. This equates to approximately 6-12 line items updating per second. And yes, the user's screen has to change as the events occur. Hell of a requirement, but easily satisfied with 2 days of Javascript/DOM coding, and it runs in IE 5, IE 5.5, Netscape 6, and Mozilla with no browser-specific code. Once again, just because your tiny little realm of experience and knowledge can't conceive of a simple solution that doesn't require inventing your own Tablizer-brand[tm] way of doing things, doesn't mean that such a solution doesn't exist.

Shoulda just done it in Flash, and sent new screenshots as it changes. :) muahaahahahahaha. :) (running away now) Addison
