You will have to use AJAX. I couldn't find any examples on the internet to forward you to but here is how it could be done:
There is a myriad of free shoutbox clients for PHPBB, vBulletin and many other scripts. If I were you I would download one and see how they developed theirs.
- You will need 1 PHP script that reads data from a database (username, shout-out/comment, etc). The output should be in XML format.
- 1 PHP script that submits new comments to the database
- HTML Text Box and Submit button (that submits to #2 above).
- JavaScript/AJAX that reads the #1 script above on a time interval (every 10 seconds?) and updates the textbox with new shoutouts.

Ajax will show the results without refreshing the whole page... Everything is pretty much standalone
