There is something called Polling. It is called Push Technology, where the server pushes the code from it to the web page. This can be done through web sockets.

Generally newbies do that. Even I do that. Nothing wrong. Only problem would be, you will be requesting the server and if there are more number of users, and simultaneous requests go to the server, it cannot handle. – Praveen Kumar Purushothaman Mar 30 '13 at 20:04
