I had a look at the http://gmail.com [1] technique for reading data from the client without refreshing the page. I am using this for a long time with the ActiveX Microsoft.XMLHTTP or Microsoft.XMLDOM. But using frames and simple arrays pages are working in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla,... very cool! A simple page can be viewed at http://demo.pctopp.com/incidents.aspx [2]. If you click on a group (there a machine codes for conversion machines) you can see all the incidents for this group. In the background a page is loaded into a frame: http://demo.pctopp.com/incidents.aspx?cmd=showincidents&groupid=1 [3] If you have a look to the source code you can see on how the new values are put to the parent (main) page.

Did not know if there is already a post about the beta for Windows Update v6. I got an email for beta tester, but I think the link is working for all Windows 2003 Servers, http://beta.update.microsoft.com [1]. If you open the link using Windows XP/2000/... you will be redirected to version 4 or 5. Note: the new update webpage is still in beta!!
