Refreshing page and sockets

[tommyj77pl]

Hi All
I am trying to create application wich will refresh the html page every transaction made in our progress db. My first and only idea was to add trigger for create record which creates socket in specify port and sends e.g transaction type. HTML page will run with JAVA applet which listen the selected port.
Anybody has diffrent Ideas or created similar application?

You might want to spend some time reading up on XMLHttpRequest and AJAX.

Do you litteraly mean all transactions made in your Progress DB? If that's the case then I wouldn't do that if I where you. Even a fairly small database has many many transactions per day, or even per second on busy moments. So I must be misunderstanding you.
If you want to refresh your screen sometimes you could use the META tags to do that.
If you want to partially refresh your pages, look into AJAX.

What do you actually want to accomplish? Could you elaborate some more on the type of data you want to show?
