logging

I'm working on an application that creates HTML log files. I'm tired of having to manually reload and scroll to the bottom in the browser to see the latest entries.

A solution that does not really satisfy me is using the Firefox plugins ReloadEvery and ScrollyFox. In many situations reloading frequency and scrolling speed are just to slow.

Of course I could actually use tail, but I would prefer a rendered HTML page.

Do you have any suggestions? Firefox extensions are preferred, but any other tip is appreciated, too.
