I have guestbook with two columns,

username and Message

Suppose multiple visitors are inserting their comments/message how to display latest message first as soon as it is inserted into database and others below without refreshing page?

(Exactly same like facebook home page)

A new page impression should show the data automatically. However, if you want real-time updating, that can be a little fiddly. There are two main options: COMET and AJAX.

Ajax is probably the easiest to implement, where you poll the DB every 30 seconds or so with an ajax call (js setInterval method).
