Hi guys, I saw an Ajax script a long time ago that if there was something new inserted into the database it would update the page without the user having to refresh. Does anyone know where I could find something like this?

Ok I'm working on a chat script and I've got it to work but right now what I've been using is this:

<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout("window.location.replace('WHAT EVER')", 2000);
</script>

but I don't want it to keep refreshing so I thought that there could be an ajax thing so that when something new is added to database it will automatically update the chat window without refreshing. I would also make it so that it submits without it refreshing.

To update a div with JavaScript, you typically change the innerHTML attribute.

I know how to do it that way. I just don't know how to make it know something new is added.

Also I really don't need anything fancy I just need something that will do the job quick and efficient.

I hope I clarified myself a little more about what I'm looking for.
