Martin, lets' keep it here. i think the Ruby community enjoys the diversity. i know i do. :-) i think i have a potential solution for you. have you looked into server-push documents? "Server-push dynamic documents are driven from the server side. The client-server connection remains open after an initial transafer of data, and the server periodically sends new data to the client, updating the client's display." - HTML, The Definitive Guide (O'Reilly) this is a standard, that you should have no trouble building upon. -- tom sawyer, aka transami transami@transami.net .''. .''. . *''* :_\/_: . :_\/_: _\(/_ .:.*_\/_* : /\ : .'.:.'. .''.: /\ : ./)\ ':'* /\ * : '..'. -=:o:=- :_\/_:'.:::. | ' *''* * '.\'/.' _\(/_'.':'.' : /\ : ::::: = *_\/_* -= o =- /)\ ' * '..'
