Please correct if I'm wrong (I probably am) but Comet just seems to me to be AJAX but with a timer set on the server side to push data to the client, now surely AJAX is still used here to check for changes in the data source, so this has been around for years hasn't it... As far as examples to show I can't think of one, I assume in-browser chat clients would work well like Meebo, but they rely on having one connection open per client so you'll need the hardware to handle such a service. It all seems pretty niche to me. [img]http://www.geocities.com/blaise69dude/images/BlaiseSig.gif[/img] Loading...
