Your DEMO is not working… Can someone look at it. I would really like to examine it.
I tried Firefox 3 and Safari 4 browsers..

Interesting, thanks Rob. It’s a bit tough to search for something like this, when you don’t know the name to use. I’d be interested for any more information on people’s experiences, especially dealing with IE. As far as I can tell, Gmail uses an ActiveX component to patch some aspect of IE6 to make this work, but I haven’t had a chance to really figure out what the issue is. (My main machine is a Mac, so I debugging on IE is always kind of an event.)

Functionality like this has existed for a little while in a few js toolkits. An attempt has been made to coalesce knowledge around the name ‘comet’, but it doesn’t really seem to be catching on.

Wonderful Mike. In hindsight this makes perfect sense, thanks. To quote Terill, "this is genius".

Is there any work arounds that the client can perform doesn't want to play by your rules (i.e. does not leave the connection open for you)? I am going to assume the answer is a no but it would be nice if there was something.
