refreshing a web page...

[Ollie Riches]

I have a process that completes asnychronously and whilst this is happening
the aspx page shows an animated gif and sets the header to refresh every 2
seconds to check whether the asynchronous process has completed.

It all works perfectly fine but what I want to know is it possible to do
this without having the whole page refresh or appear to refresh at all. I
know this can be done in version 2.0 of the .Net framework with custom
script callbacks
(http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/01/CuttingEdge/default.aspx
) but is some similiarly available for version 1.1.

Cheers in advance
