Get string and refresh it on the page

I am making a server management program that uses a web interface. I am new to javascript, how would I make text in <div id="var">0</div> change to the contents on http://mysite.com/cpu.php every 2 seconds

Ajax.

Ajax.

And might as well use a framework to make it easier for you; jQuery or Dojo Toolkit are a couple options.

With JQuery you could just use ..

 

setInterval(function()
{
   $("#var").load("http://mysite.com/cpu.php");
}, 2000);
