HTML5 Websockets
In Html5 websockets is an communication technique for web application which operates over a single socket and is exposed via JavaScript interface. The websocket provide an API that enable webpage to use websocket protocol for communication from the remote host. Websocket defines two-way communication, bi-direction channal that operate through a single TCP stock over the web. Websocket also provide efficient, low latency and low cost full-duplex communication between server and client.
For sending data Browser to server we firstly have to create connection with web server then we call send() method. For receiving data fro server to client side we use onmessage event handler.

alert("your browsObjer supported to websocket");
var wsObj = new WebSocket("wsObj://localhost:1653/echo");
wsObj.onopen = function () {
wsObj.send("send message");
alert("Message has been sent");
};
wsObj.onmessage = function (str) {
var received_msg = str.data;
alert("message is receiveing...");
};
wsObj.onclose = function () {
