Hi,
Are there any sites that has a tutorial about COMET without the use of any javascript framework? I want to see the core codes of COMET and learn how it works.
Thanks in advance
Cheers, Mark

A:
Without the use of a javascript framework, you're dead in the water (unless you want to use Flash/Silverlight). Javascript is an integral part of how Comet works.
If you want to play with some Comet tutorials, you can check out the ones we've written for WebSync. You can take a look at the underlying javascript as well; tack ?debug=1 on the end of the script tag to view the uncompressed version.

So you're trying to say that COMET depends to a Javascript framework and will not work alone? Thanks for the link. I will check that :)

Essentially, yes; you need both a comet *server* and a comet *client*. You *can* use another client (such as Silverlight/Flash/Thick clients/etc), but you'll always need *something* to communicate with the server. JavaScript is the most common because it's supported in all browsers.
