The following APPLET tag uses a modified version of the XML data source object (DSO) that was shipped with Internet Explorer 4.0 to load the XML from an ASP script on the server. The DSO adds the handleUpdate capability for use with the UPDATE.ASP script so that small updates can be sent to each client to keep them all synchronized with the bids that are being made.
