I have a div that I need to atomically refresh on it's own given every 10 seconds. If anyone knows of a good ajax tutorial for this, could you please reply with the link. Thanks in advance!

Hi Justin, There's an AJAX library out there called 'ExtJS' which in my opinion, blows everything else out of the water. Its URL is http://extjs.com Were you to consider such a library, you could do what you need very easily. Quite effortless! Cheers. Alex

Thanks Alex, I was always a fan of the 'MooTools' framework, but I think I have just chosen a better framework. Kudo's to you for the recommendation + a code that should work (will try it in a little bit) Thanks again bud. -----Edit----- Cripes, didn't know you had to buy it That's a bit out of my budget atm, darn.

ExtJS is free. No need to purchase it. They provide both open source and commercial license.

Not quite. There is a need to purchase it if you're not planning on releasing your applications source code.

Oh wow, you are right. I've just checked their licensing again. It looks like they have changed the license to GPL recently. Last time I checked was LGPL. http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33096
