title: How to auto refresh a section of a page
body: <p>I have a part of a page that has live data in it, I was thinking of just refreshing the page every couple of minutes, but that isn't right because of other elements of the page.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do it? What language can I use to do this, what's easy to do and what isn't, what works well and what doesn't. Maybe some clear tutorials or even code examples.</p>
  
  <p>I'd live to do this in something like PHP, but don't have a clue where to start, from a bit of research i see that Javascript and Ajax seem to be the standard for this but my knowledge of these languages aren't up to scratch.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the time and help people.</p>
  
  <p>Oh, the data that is being displayed is coming from a database if that's any help.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks again.</p>
