True, but anybody asking the question
in the first place is looking for a
solution, not technicalities. I once
used php to mirror databases, streaming
javascript to a browser reporting on the
progress (using Javascript and the DOM),
I feel this was a PHP project, not Javascript
and certainly not HTML. Can PHP 'do' HTML ?
Yes, can PHP 'do' Javascript ? Yes. Does PHP
have a library function for updating a frame ?
No, it is not supposed to, the DOM and
whichever scripting language you use is.
