Hello all,
I wonder if there is a way to do this, any help would be appreciated.
The problem of course is how to
force the JSP to refresh directly from the server?
Is that possible?
I appreciate any help.

Apparently, Internet Explorer (5 <=) does not support
the encapsulation of multiple entities in a response.

- Periodically force an Internet browser to reload a page
automatically. Typically, this occurs on a page-by-page basis for a

- Prevent browsers from viewing data that may be out of date,
especially on sites where information is updated frequently. Client
pull is implemented through the HTTP header REFRESH and can be used to
redirect to another page.

You can also use Javascript
to make a query every now and again,
using setTimeout function.
like
window.setTimeout("getBlog()", 1000);
Where the function javascript getBlog is called
after 1 second or something like that.
Using dhtml makes the whole process seem
