Refreshing a part of a page, possible?

[kigoobe]

Guys

I was wondering how can I refresh a part of the page. I've seen is sites where they allow users to refresh only part of the page, like as we see in SP forum, when we edit a post, we just refresh the part of our post, not the full page.

How do they do it? AJAX?

Could use a div for the part to be refreshed, then write to the div with javascript, perhaps.

Could also use a hidden iframe. Have a look at the following link, it may help you in what your after:

Yes you can do this with the help of Ajax easily...

Wonderful guys. Thanks for your replies.

Only problem here is - none of the solutions are universal. Ajax, divs or Iframe, all depend on javascript, hence browsers where javascript is disabled, won't get the functionality. Probably I can code for those browsers seperately.

Thanks again.
