Someone told me you could get an iframe and a textbox, make the iframe hidden, keep refreshing the iframe, then use JS to retrieve the data from the iframe into the textbox.
Anyone know how to do this?

You could probally do the same thing using a html div and the innerHTML javascript command, and it would probally look a lot nicer then using textbox too.

<iframe id="refreshframe"></iframe>
<div id="newcontent"></div>
<script>
flip_div('refreshframe', 'newcontent');
function flip_div(sorce,target)
{
//code to refresh the iframe goes here
//set the innerhtml of the div to the iframe contents
document.getElementById(target).innerHTML = document.getElementById(sorce).innerHTML;
}
</script>
Something along those lines should do the trick. You may need to tweak it a bit to get it to work with iframes, as I've only used this to go between divs, then you'll just have to set a javascript timer to execute the function every so often.
