hi together, i want to develop an easy whiteboard application. Based on MSIE 6 and svg. This application is a multiclient - server application (not peer-to-peer). The problem i've is following thing: 2 person want to draw something. Each new instance of an object will immediately sent to the server (that's functionally), but now, when the server is sent this new object (as xml-file) to the client which possibility(-ies) I have to refresh the browser with the new object? Eventhandling as timer seems me to bad (to much refreshing and the user couldn't do some action in the whiteboard, and so on...)

Thank's for your competent help and/or tipps
Patrick

This question cannot be solved with javascript (expect for running a 'refresh page' command.
You want to have a closer look at PHP probably.

Thank you, that's what I'm afraid of. I was surfing before in the internet and found a page which propably could help for an solution: http://jan.kollhof.net/projects/svg/examples/index.xhtml
the author has written some js-scripts and named them 'javascript o lait' - okay, when we haver closer look to the 'xml-rpc', than we see that he need python and not only javascript... in this case thank you for your help and have a nice weekend.
