[Javascript] Background script

[Rafael Santos]

Well, i know a way:

function verify(){
  var delay = 1800; //i guess it's 1 minute
  getmsgs = setTimeout(fn_getmsg, delay);
}

function fn_getmsg(){
   //ajax request
   //get the result
   //if result > 0
   //echo the result or any info...
}

so, u just have to know the basic of ajax...
a simple GET should work...

I suggest u to meet jQuery.com An amazing js library... only 16k
