Embedded web page updating

I’m using slinger and ds (qnxvar SSI tokens) to push data back and forth
from my embedded application to a web browser. The problem is that I’d like
to have the data updated about once a second. I realize that you can use
the auto-refresh HTML tag but that updates the entire screen which is really
ugly and annoying. Is there any way to update selected fields only on the
page? Is this architecture the approach that I should be using?

Also, is there anyway to push data retrieved from ← #qnxvar read=…–>
into a text box, not just plain text?

Thanks!

I am fairly sure that the only ways to avoid re-writing the whole
screen are to:

  1. divide the screen into frames and update just the frame you want.
  2. display the data in its own window.
