    Updating a table

    I was wondering if anybody could help me out a little. My goal is to
    update some information about a system every 2-5 seconds. The
    information needs to be displayed in some sort of table, but the size
    of the table needs to be able to shrink and grow. The main problem
    here is updating the table without refreshing the entire page and
    making any clicking noises. I was thinking maybe I can put the table
    in an iframe and use javascript somehow to update the iframe whenever
    neccesary. If anybody has any ideas or suggestions I would greatly
    appreciate it.

      if the information is in a file formet - text file / xml file - then you
      could just reload the xml file and refresh the table.

          That is an idea, but the main emphasis is on the "silent refresh".
          Since I don't know too much about javascript how would I go about
          refreshing a table or an iframe containing the table without all of
          the bells and whistles from the browser. Oh yeah, a piece of
          information that I left out last time is I am using goforms with the
          goahead server. That is the main reason I would like to use iframes,
          because I know how to make the iframe refresh every couple of seconds
          and load the generated page. The problem is every time the iframe
          refresh IE makes an annoying noise. With that being said, I am not
          committed to using iframes so any suggestions would be appreciated.
