Auto Refresh Question

[wezly]

Hi there, I have a very basic php chat system storing information in my db. I have made a chatlog to display the information and I would like to have that information update live with an autoscroling box, instead of having to use iframes with.

 

<script>

  setTimeout("window.location.replace('chatlog.php')",700);

</script>

 

I have looked at a few tutorials but they all seem to build their own systems, nothing about integration with a current system. I have also fond solutions that refresh divs but try as I might, this does not seem to work.

 

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.0/jquery.min.js"></script> 
<script> 
var auto_refresh = setInterval(
function()
{
$('#log').fadeOut('slow').load('chatlog.php').fadeIn("slow");
}, 2000); //2000 Milliseconds or 2 seconds
</script> 

 

any help very much appreciated. thanks in advance.
