Since Elmseeker hasn't been on lately for me to annoy I have a quick question:
Does anyone know if there is a way to repeatedly call a function after a certain amount of time without refreshing the page? For instance, call a function again after 5 seconds have passed but not have to reoad the page to do it?
Just wondering...might be cool if there was such a thing.
You could try a zero pixil iFrame that points to the PHP script and set the meta-refresh tag to exec every 5 seconds... I'm not sure if you can size the Iframes that small, but if it's possible, that might be your best bet.
