Server "Push"

Any of you guys have any suggestions for doing a server "push". I want to update the browser with new info. I do not want to do a refresh. I guess I could write a VB web browser program with a winsock control but then the client would have to download the app. I figured I could use a java applet. Do you know of any tutorials for this?

Thanks,

Mike

These days anything being pushed is considered bad, unless the person to whom you're pushing the content to has opted in. If you're not going to be refreshing the page then you're going to have to write an ActiveX control or a Java applet.

I'm not sure of any tutorials but a good place to start might be freevbcode.com (ActiveX) or jars.com (Java), good luck!
