Something like this => http://pm.fbagroup.co.uk/cgi-bin/chatter.pl <= you mean? Where the screen refreshes every x amount of seconds to make it look 'live'? By the way, I'm pulling this data from an XML feed from another site - there is no backend to this.

I believe another forum member, Paul, has written a commercial package for this. See:

It is not the refresh to have message updated .

I mean when you chat with A, and have some page pop up on A's window, so A will review the pages you recommend to him to got all the infos from that pop up page.

in other words. you just open a specified webpage at A' PC, this is call to push a URL to A.

I've never used this software you're talking about, but I'm going to make assumptions.

I'm going to make the assumption that this is a lot easier than it seems. They are probably just using javascript to open up a new (specified) window in your browser.

Can you give me an example URL?

Yup, they are using Javascript... if you look at the phplivehelper.js that gets included, you will find this function.

Code:
function push(mypage,myname) {
var winl = (screen.width-500)/2;
var wint = (screen.height-500)/2;
PushPage=window.open(mypage,myname,'toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,height=500,top='+wint+',left='+winl);
if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) {
PushPage.window.focus();
}
}

So then it's just a matter of the main window setting the correct OnLoad handler in the body tag when a page needs to be pushed.
