is it possible to reload a specific sidebar block only instead of the whole page?

here is the code I'm using currently:
<form><input type="image" src="/images/Refresh.png" onClick="window.location.reload()"></form>

tried changing "window" to "block"...no luck also tried "block_html" and no luck...also tried "block_html_19" = div id name.

all option's refresh the entire page.
or is there a javascript I can use that auto-refresh's the block?
or is it even possible?

You could try using jQuery to refresh the page or the specific block on a timer. I have done this myself with my radio site as the radio stats need to refresh every 60-80 seconds. I'll try get a hold of this code for you and let you know.

EDIT:
This is the code i have, you may need to change the div ids and such, i have bolded out what needs to be changed.

Code:

	$(".statsrefresh").click(function(e){
		var href = $(this).attr('href');
		// console.log(href);
		// get the current contents
		current = $("#statscontent > include"); // this is the ul thats there now
		console.log(current);
		// jquery fails silently - so the first time this runs we should have nothing here - and thats ok

		if (current.length !== 0) {
			current
				.animate(
					{"opacity": 0},
					1000,
					function(){
						$(this).remove();
						$("#statscontent").load(href, function(){$(this).css("opacity",0).animate({"opacity":1},1000);});
						}); // we fade it out and then we remove it from the DOM(page)
		} else {
			$("#statscontent").load(href, function(){$(this).css("opacity",0).animate({"opacity":1},1000);});
			
		}

		
		e.preventDefault();

Remember to include the script links for jQuery in your <head> tags.
