Constantly Updating SQL Query

[deadcell]

Wondering if its possible to have a query, such as the number of the rows in a table, constantly update itself on a page, without the need to refresh?

 

For eg on gmail home page:

"Over 5512.182228 megabytes (and counting)"

 

Where the 5512.182228 is constantly gettin larger. Im not sure if that is an SQL query but you must know what I mean Is this possible? Or is there another way of doing this? AJAX? I dunno

 

cheers

I used prototype.js with ajax in my application.All things are going on rightway except that some code of this script displaying in IE browser,however there is no any problam in mozilla.

 

 

the code below is displaying if I open the page in IE :

 

 

 

collect: function(iterator) {

 

    var results = [];

    this.each(function(value,index) {

      results.push((iterator || Prototype.K)(value, index));

    });

    return results;

  },

 

 

 

Try to open this url in IE " http://www.polinginternet.com/users/getlogin/  " .See the footer portion of this page.How i can make it correct?
