It's possible but it's time for you to learn ajax. [5 Ways to Make Ajax Calls with jQuery](http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/5-ways-to-make-ajax-calls-with-jquery/) — Siamak Motlagh, May 07 '13 at 20:37

What you're talking about is referred to as server-side push. There are some libraries that do this, like Node.js, socket.io, Comet. Check this as well: jQuery server side push with ajax

Some people have been referring to AJAX. Using AJAX you can program your clients to initiate an HTTP request, so you can program them to make a request every 5 seconds, for example, in order to refresh their content.

Think of a chatting application where you want to update the client with what others submitted. If you use AJAX only, you'd need to refresh the client's page every while. If you use server-side push, you'll be able to maintain a connection between the server and the client, and send things whenever you like.

Some platforms (e.g. Google App Engine) refer to their server-side push API as the "Channel API"
