Sujit, you definetly need to use AJAX. I think you have not explained yourself very clearly, but you are saying you want all the code on the same page, that's a bad programming practice. You need to use AJAX and have "code separation" (separate HTML from JS from PHP).

Maybe you are afraid of using AJAX, I recommend and easy library for managing AJAX, it's called SACK. You can see a nice an easy tutorial here.

Hope that works for you.

You need to use a partial page refresh using an AJAX callback. A good place to start learning AJAX is the Google Code University and the jQuery JavaScript framework.

maybe you can try to set a timer to pick new messages with ajax method and use js to change dom element's performance.
