I'm sorry, I always dissapoint you, but what ever you want to send to
browser must be demend by the browser. I mean you can tell browser to reload
part of the page, browser has to ask for it, you can send more information
to the browser and then use DHTML to provide the showing, or hiding...

There is only one way how to do, what you want (but it always ask the
server, only user will not see reloading). The way is to have 2 frames: 1st
for showing the content and the second to refresh every 1 min. (or as you
want), receive informations and using DHTML change the content of the first
frame, the secomd frame could be at the bootom of the browser, 1pixel
height, to be "invisible"
