I was wondering how to create a JSP that only refreshes portions of the page, without frames. Here is an example...
At nfl.com they have an area called Game Center. It allows you to watch a games stats (almost) live but the whole page doesn't refresh, just the portions that change like player stats and a graphical scoreboard. How do they do that?
There are no frames or applets. I've looked at the source and its a bunch of JavaScript.
Any ideas?

Hi Jason
This is what I will do.......
Suppose A.jsp is the main page and in there you want to call B.jsp.
A.jsp
------
<jsp:include page="B.jsp" />
B.jsp
-----
<%
response.setHeader("Refresh","5");
%>
This will force B.jsp to refresh every 5 seconds
Hope this helps
Regards
sanj

They do use a refresh header that updates the entire page every couple minutes BUT updates occur to the page on a play-by-play basis as well without updating the whole page.

I was intrigued so I checked out the page. I found:

I have seen things you people would not believe, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, c-beams sparkling in the dark near the Tennhauser Gate. All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.

Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
