I know HTML and the basics of PHP, SQL, and Javascript, so I would like to use any of them if possible:
I need to somehow make a section of my webpage autoupdate itself without refreshing the rest of the page. The page should be at http://ethersoft.cjb.net:82/dynamicindex/cam0vo.html if my webserver is up. Anyway, you can see at the bottom two sections - "GAME: XXXXX" and "SKILL: XXXXX". What I want to do is change those values on my computer and have them automatically change on the user's webpage without them manually refreshing. i considered combining the meta tag "REFRESH" and the PHP "204 error" method, but I don't know how to change the test on the page with that.
Come to think of it, that part of my webpage is hosted on with a different webserver than the rest of my page, and does not have PHP enabled. I could probably get it to work, but I'd rather not have to.
Thanks!

If you wanted to use meta refresh, you could put the information you want refreshed in an iframe and then have just that page refresh, without loading the whole page. I use that technique on one of my sites http://www.jaggedknife.com to update server information.

Ah, much thanks. After learning what an iframe is and learning how to make one, I tried it and it worked perfectly.

Glad I could help...just be aware that iframes do not work in older browsers, they will just display nothing, so make sure you have a <noframes> tag with a link to the information if you are worried about such things.

i figure that would be kind of useless. It's a big java applet with an iframe underneath it. If they have an older browser, they just won't get a webpage.
