You want a browser Javascript application that executes some remote process (say, a script), and then listens for messages broadcast by that remote process. How would you build this?

you have several options here:
1) browser client can continually poll server (done through XMLHttpRequest object or an iframe)
2) server can send a response that stays open... the connection doesn't close and the server can send updates when ready.
together these two are known as "comet"

3) you can use websockets, however, this is relatively new and won't work in IE or older browsers

4) You can use modern interactive technologies like Adobe (tm) Flash(r)(c), and not try to shoehorn everything into the outdated HTML language.

>>7 Flash is for faggots. I hope it fully and finally dies with the new features of HTML5, and I hope Adobe goes out of business. I revel in the fact that their Seattle branch office is right under a very tall bridge, so the employees get to come out to dead bodies in their parking lot full from suicide jumpers jumping off the bridge.

But it's easier to use a subset of HTML5 than it is to use a subset of Flash.

HTML5 in itself is hardly bloated. compare previous doctype syntax
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd ">
to HTML5 doctype
<!DOCTYPE html>
perhaps you mean DOM or CSS3 is bloated.

The doctype got shorter, but they added a whole bunch of other shit.

fucking have the server generate an RSS feed of messages using one of a million different existing technologies and use whatever javascript RSS library you want to poll for new messages.</thread>

Thank you everyone for your responses. Comet is not quite there. I suppose there's a reason Flash is used so often as a middleman for this task.
