RealDrift Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Hi, I basically have two frames on my page, the top one contains users stats and the bottom frame contains the website. I want to have a message icon on the top frame which would flash once the user gets a new message. Obviously I would have one message icon which doesn't flash and another which does. Right now i refresh the top frame every 30 seconds so that the stats update. But is there an easier way to refresh? I mean right now the whole top frame refreshes which can get annoying. Is there any PHP code which would automatically update a stat once there is a change in it? Please let me know.

marcus Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 AJAX is your answer. Basically run a request, and if the content of the file equals this, you have a new message, omg.
