Have pages auto-refresh as new data is added

[SRGDamia1]

As new live data streams in, it isn't visible until the page is manually refreshed. If possible, it would be great to have all pages with information about real-time data automatically refresh as they receive more values.

@SRGDamia1 - we could potentially add an auto refresh on a timer, but it probably wouldn't be triggered by new data being added. Also - I find auto-refreshes can be really annoying because they can mess with what you are doing or want to see on the page.

Hm.... I love the way Shannon has set her status page to refresh: http://swrcsensors.dreamhosters.com/status.php. I am completely clueless about the difficulty involved in implementing it nicely on a site with graphs.

If we want a dashboard/status page, we should think about the design. It might be OK for a status page like the one you provide the link to to auto-update, but other pages not so much.

This was completed a long time ago.

@aufdenkampe - No, the pages don't auto-refresh. I still have to click the refresh button to see new data if I've left the page open a while.
