I have a rather complex web page which acts as a client to a FAX
server. At the bottom I would like to display information regarding
the server status - this involves running a shell command and printing
the output to the page.

I would like this section at the bottom of the page to refresh every
(say) 5 seconds, and the rest of the page not to refresh.

I could do this with frames and something like <meta
http-equiv="REFRESH" content="300;URL=bottom.php" />, but this would
screw up my scrollbars and would require 3 source files in the place of
one.

Is there a more elevant way of doing this? Javascript would be OK but
I suspect that this might not be possible.
