Part page refreshing
I have been watching Google change the soccer results on its page and it appears to do it without a complete page refresh..
anyone know how to do that..?

Most likely something called AJAX, doing server calls from within the page itself. DO you have an example URL you are refering to, then could give a more definate answer.

Thanx for the response..
The URL is Google's homepage which is personalized (I have added the World Cup to it) and this is where I noticed the changes happening..
You are probably right it does look like an AJAX thing... Bit too heavy for me, I struggle with HTML...
How about my pushing a fresh page instead of the viewer requesting it - can I do that? and how..

You can do it several ways, one, with the HTML META refresh tag or two a refresh Javascript code. There are more but are a little more complicated. I would recommend the HTML way.

Thanx Renegade
I had thought of the Meta Refresh but with images on the screen it makes a pigs ear of it especially if I wanted to refresh every 30 seconds or thirty minutes or whatever, having the screen blank out and then reload slowly while it downloads the images every time is a pain.
So guess it's a no no on that one...
thanx guys..
