Yeah as you have to keep refreshing the page to get the data which means you recieve the text in chucks rather than a single message at a time. I would just point a java applet to an irc server.

it can be updated from outside the visible regions with hidden frames using javascript as an authoritative entity over that page code..

exactly... white flash? not on my program i'm building.
i have an (almost) completely functional touch-screen point of sale script for registers done using iframes, javascript and php. and out of all the reloads i do with each iframe, i don't see one white blink. set the style = "width:0px; height:0px" and booya, invisible frames you can use to do all your dirty work. call a php script that will do something, and then populate a form value, text value, textarea value, whatever.
can't wait to show this puppy off when i get done

soon as i can finish the reporting side of it.. trying to keep track of all the inventory and generating reports is not that hard, just a long, drawn out, pain in the ass. the register screen is almost done though

hope to get a site with some screen shots in a few weeks
