Anyone know how to display dynamic data on a web page that is updated by a server at random intervals?

Example: The number of products left for purchase. For instance it may go down 2 items in the first minute then 1 in the next five then 3 in 30 seconds, etc, etc.

note: I do not mean by reloading the page or a small frame every second or so.

For this kind of applications the WEB is not the best idea (unreliable connection, etc). But if you want to use WEB I think (in my oppinion) the best way to do it is using an Java Applet connected to a notification server.

Hope that helped.
