PHP Ajax, how to update a number dynamically?

Question

In my PHP application, I have a web page that says "New Leads: 0" The "0" is the result of a SQL statement.

My goal is to add Ajax code so the "0" updates dynamically, without having to refresh the page. When the number of rows increases in the database, I want the "New Leads: 0" to automatically increase.

My question is can you point me in the right direction of how I can code this?

Make a page that outputs the number, put the number into a <span id="the_number"> then call the load() function of jQuery on that span to fetch that page. Use the window.setInterval() function to make it periodically.
