I don't know the precise code for this, but we've got plenty of books on
JavaScript here, so I can have a look.  I believe all the frames are
referred to in a Frames object, and one of the methods can load a URL.

Failing that, I'm doing Java programming as part of my course for
university, so I could have a look in some of the stuff I'm doing for
that and see what I can use.  We could load a java applet to poll the
server on a regular basis.  Java should certainly have the ability.

Also, there's Flash, that might have the power, but that's an iffy
statement, it would be more of a possibility if EB-Lite used XML for its
client/server communication. (Is this a possibility for the future?)
