Agreed - personally I prefer that the browser makes the request as required
using a timer or something. -- but -- if the data MUST be "pushed" to the
browser then the choices are limited.

The only way to do this (that I know of) is to use a Java Applet.
Using
Java you set up a socket, receive the data, and display the info in the

applet running in the browser.

Ignoring the "ewwww" factor of applets you've still got a problem there
that you're assuming the server can even get a connection to the
browser. Firewalls (network and personal) and NAT/PAT will kill you
there too.
