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?

<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.

SORTED!

For anyone that wants the code that works, here ya go:

<IFRAME SRC="chatBox.asp" width="0" height="0" id="refreshframe"></iframe>

<div id="newcontent"></div>
<SCRIPT language = "JavaScript">
<!--
function flip_div(sorce,target)
{
  parent.refreshframe.history.go(0);
  document.getElementById(target).innerHTML = refreshframe.document.body.innerHTML;
}

var the_count = 0;
var the_timeout;

function doTimer() { 
  flip_div('refreshframe', 'newcontent');
  the_count += 2;
  the_timeout = setTimeout("doTimer();", 2000);
} 
//-->
</SCRIPT>
