display records randomly one after another

Question

hi

I want to display 5 records from a database with in a td one after another (about 60sec). How will i do this, with out the need of page refreshing? I don't know any idea about ajax

Answer 1

In this case, have to use ajax

Answer 2

So you want the contents of one cell be replaced continually? In that case, you have to use AJAX to retrieve your data and a timer to trigger this retrieval and contents change.

Answer 3

You don't have to use AJAX. You can put the content you want to refresh in an iframe, and the framed webpage will have a meta refresh header. This type of thing has been done for years before AJAX existed.
