I use firefox for my browser, and as such, I have several sites set as Tabs that load every time I start firefox. When the site is live, I intend to do the same with this site. My question stems from the fact that I keep webpages loaded at almost all times...
Does the page, wherever you might be within the site, reload periodically? Can I have the page loaded on one of my tabs in FF and simply switch over an see if there are any new messages in the navagation section?, or will I have to hit reload whenever I switch over?
My own preference would be that it reload or dynamically update that section and similar sections that might have 'new data/messages' posted. Is this a possibility?
The iGoogle homepages work in this manner, at least when it comes to mail notifications on that little mail plugin. Maybe a similar feature/plugin can be used in that section instead of a static (only reloading when 'refreshed') area?

just refresh your browser (or better yet, flush your browser's cache
and then refresh). I divided the navigation menu into three sections,
so I can do dynamic refreshes of just the two lines "View Guestbook" and "View Messages" once per minute. So even if you've got the page in a tab and hidden away, it will query refresh of those two lines in the navigation menu each 60 seconds, to inform you of new messages. This is a lighter load on the server than complete page refreshes, and should do the trick quite nicely. 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our
