That requires a constant open connection from client -> server. Once the page has finished loading - that's it from a traditional HTTP point of view (the connection is then closed). AJAX "expands" this by allowing JS to send requests to the server, after the page has loaded.

Shoutboxes in this sense need to continuously poll the server to check for new messages.
