Luc wonders:
is it possible to reload only a <dtml-var value> without reloading an = entire page ??????????? if yes, how??
The short answer is no. That is, unless you are willing to set up some sort of Java RMI process, or other complex solution, and pray that your audience has downloaded and enable, or at least hasn't turned off the required services. On the other hand, there may be a simple way to meet your needs. You could borrow an idea from those annoying Web Sites that pop up "little windows" in addition to the main page that you thought you were linking to. By separating the item you want to be refreshed so that it displays in its own browser window, and setting a metatag in that page specifying a short refresh period, the contents of that window will be reloaded independent of the "main" window.
