[Zope] newbie - force frame update for multiple users?

[Jim Sanford]

The way I would do it is to create a small floating window with javascript in it that would check the server on a regular basis (1
second, 10 seconds, 5 minutes? - whatever would suit your needs) to see if any of the data in the frames in question has changed. If
no change, the floating window would be refreshed with a new copy of itself to check again after the specified interval. If the data
has changed the floating window would be refreshed with javascript to update the relevant fields in the relevant frames and then
recheck for new data after the appropriate time period.

Note. the floating window could just be an addtional frame that does not even have to be visible (set its frameset row or column
value to zero)

You could also include a button to force a check.

Hello
Please forgive my ignorance, but is the following possible?
I'll have about 10 users viewing the same dtml document which displays
a frameset.  Anyone of the users can supply input via a form in one of
the
frames.  The submitted data is used to update the other frames.  Is it
possible to get the server to update all the users and not just the
single
submitter?  How would I get a reference to the other users?  Any
tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian
