  EventSource object
  - This object is used to receive server-sent event notifications:
  
  - Example
  var source = new EventSource("first_page.php");
  source.onmessage = function(event)
  {
     document.getElementById("result").innerHTML +=event.data;
  };
  
  - The above example creates a new EventSource object, and specifies the URL of the page by sending the updates (in this example "first_page.php")
  
  - The onmessage event occurs each time an update is received,
  
  - Put the received data into the element with id="result" when an onmessage event occurs.
