Tutorial Partial Page Refresh
Refresh certain elements of a page using jQuery after a set amount of time, can be used with any element with an ID. I amended the example given with the URL to only refresh once and not intermittently. Works in all browsers.
$('#button1').click(function() {
var url = "http:www.your-url.com?ID=" + Math.random(); //create random number
setTimeout(function() {
$("#elementName").load(url+" #elementName>*","");
}, 1000); //wait one second to run function
});
