I know that 5th generation browsers like IE5 and NS5 have/will have the ability to dynamically change anything in a browser window via javascript calls to the DOM. So for instance you could create a div tag with some special ID and via javascript change the contents of that div tag at any time. So all you need is a setTimeout to call whatever function you need from frontier then refresh that div via something like this:in HTML:
some chat messagesin Javascript:
newmessage = document.createTextNode("this is the new message");
foo = document.getElementById("thatdiv");
foo.appendChild(newmessage);
and dynamically this will make the new message appear inside the div.
There are responses to this message:
