Hi,
Using SQL Server, classic ASP, DMX, and XMLHTTP

I am looking for the best way to sync up client browsers to all show the
same information from a database at the same time.

It is for a live auction app where users can bid in real time against each
other. I need the client browsers to show a countdown and other info and
need it to be synchronous on all the client browsers.

As of now I am using xmlhttp RPC's & stored procedures to call to and update
the DB once every second to get and put new information in real time.

One vital element is the countdown for when a lot ends, but I can't seem to
get the clients to sync perfectly. The countdown is a column that get
decremented once every second which the clients read to see how much time is
left to bid. the page is updated via JavaScript & the DOM so it does not
have to refresh.

Is there perhaps a better way to do this that I am missing?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
TJ
