The most compatible approach is to poll the server for new messages
regularly. How to do that is on-topic in comp.lang.javascript. Useful
answers on Usenet are more likely if you post under your real name.

You are mistaken. BTW, "Ajax" is a misnomer; thinking "XMLHttpRequest"
instead will get you further.

No, it is not.

No, it does not have to.

There is also the Comet approach, and there are Web Sockets. However, the
latter has security issues and is not well supported as of yet.
Your problem in general is on-topic in comp.infosystems.www.authoring.misc,
not here. You should have known already as you noticed that this cannot be
solved with PHP alone. Please adhere to the topic-oriented structuring of
Network News, and Usenet in particular. And please do not start new threads
for old problems.
