Three ideas for you Subhendu:
1. You could use the microsoft data access components - but that would only
work with IE4+
2. Otherwise maybe try a IFRAME or ILAYER or FRAME or LAYER within your page
to download a reduced part of the page. You would have to detect Netscape or
IE browsers and use the approriate tag.
3. You could use a very small empty frame at the bottom of the page with
some javascript in it, reloading itself every couple of seconds. This
javascript could re-write the value in the main page using e.g.
parent.frames[1].window.document.form.score.value="100/3". To be compatible
with earlier browsers, that part of the page would have to be an INPUT box
though. I think this solution would work almost all browsers with
Javascript -- but requires frames.
Does that help?

Subject: [thelist] Refreshing a part of a page
Hello,
How can I refresh a portion of a page. I am displaying a cricket
score in my site where all text, images everything remains same and only the
present score = ### where the ### should refresh and get the value from
the server ( say from a database ) in every one second. I don't want to
refresh the whole page to display the current value of score. While reading
the text ( content ) of the page this value only should dynamically keep on
changing.
I am not getting the idea on how to start. I know ASP ( or it can
be any thing )
