              Have you managed to get any information back while using the API? Can you show the code that you've tried so far.

                  Code:
                  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>   
   <div id="innerFrame"></div>
   
   <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">  
   
   function showpresence(presence)
   {
   
      var innerFrame = document.getElementById('innerFrame');         
      var statusIcon = document.createElement('img');
      statusIcon.style.border = 'none';
      statusIcon.src = presence.icon.url;
      statusIcon.width = presence.icon.width;
      statusIcon.height = presence.icon.height;
      statusIcon.alt = presence.statusText;
      statusIcon.title = presence.statusText;

      var displayName = document.createElement('span');
      displayName.style.fontFamily = 'Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif';
      displayName.style.fontSize = '9pt';
      displayName.title = presence.displayName;
      
      var statusText = document.createElement('span');
      statusText.style.fontFamily = 'Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif';
      statusText.style.fontSize = '9pt';
      statusText.title = presence.statusText;
      
      var br = document.createElement('br');
      
      innerFrame.appendChild(statusIcon);
      innerFrame.appendChild(br);
      innerFrame.appendChild(displayName);
      innerFrame.appendChild(br);
      innerFrame.appendChild(statusText);
      
      if ((displayName.innerText !== undefined)&&(statusText.innerText !== undefined))
      {
         displayName.innerText = presence.displayName;
         statusText.innerText = presence.statusText;
      }
      else if ((displayName.textContent != undefined)&&(statusText.textContent !== undefined))
      {
         displayName.textContent == presence.displayName;
         statusText.textContent == presence.statusText;
      }
   }
   </script>
   <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
src="http://messenger.services.live.com/users/670D6EA19275AD0B@apps.messenger.live.com/presence/?cb=showpresence">
   </script>
  
    <p>
        
</body>
</html>
                  This is the version of code which is also there at msdn
                  http://msdn.microsoft. com/en-us/library/bb936688.aspx

                  Now this code gets users presence .I want to get user's presence status in interval of 2 mins without refreshing my page.

                      The script just returns a function call, so you need to put that in a function and call it every two minutes, e.g.:
                      [code=javascript]function showNew() {
                      var script = document.create Element("script ");
                      script.type="te xt/javascript";
                      script.src="htt p://messenger.servi ces.live.com/users/670D6EA19275AD0 B@apps.messenge r.live.com/presence/?cb=showpresenc e";
                      document.body.a ppendChild(scri pt);
                      }[/code]Call showNew() using setInterval every 120 seconds.

                          Thanks a ton .That's what I wanted .
                          Only One question more
                          creating script element again will create any issue??

                          when I went to see the size of Iexplore.exe which was running this particular code,its size was continuosly increasing. AnyOther solution would be fine,otherwise this will also do

                              Give the script tag an ID and then try setting its src. If not that, then try replacing the script and see if that makes a difference.
