Reloading A Part Of Webpage, Preferred Approach

[batista]

Hello all,

I currently have a webpage which has a grid and using webservice.htc im
updating its content after every 5 seconds.

Now I want to add two forms at the bottom of the page.One of them
contains a gird which I want to be updated(and only that grid) when a
user clicks a button.

So basically I want to reload a part of a webpage not the entire page.

I thought about frames but(my luck ) read their disadvantages before
their advantages...

And also I think that with frames I wont be able to efficiently use the
webservice.htc to keep updating my first grid as I mentioned above..

So because their are many problems with frames, I'd like to know of
some other strategies
which are preferred and used to reload a part of webpage....

Please any suggestions....

Thanks.
Cheers...

Bye

The only way to do this "AFAIK" is using AJAX. Check it out on the net.
