title: Refreshing a Table Column via Ajax
body: <p>I have a web page containing a table of jobs running on my system. As these jobs finish or change state the table needs to reflect the changes.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I refresh the whole table via AJAX every 8 seconds. This works fine for a certain number of jobs, but causes performance issues with very high (~100) job loads, eventually causing browsers to lock up. </p>
  
  <p>I am using struts2's sx:div to perform theses updates and I believe it is parsing the returned table each time to search for widgets, turning this off breaks functionality.</p>
  
  <p>I think refreshing just the status column would help greatly with this as the data returned will be much smaller, but I am unsure how this will work. </p>
  
  <p>I'm open to using something other than the struts tag to perform this. So in essence I am asking is there a simple way to just refresh a column of a table.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
