You could use socket.io, or other websocket method, to maintain a persistent connection between the web page and the server. The server can then use that connection to inform the web page when something on the server has changed, and you can program the web page to react accordingly.

there's a bunch of tools for this: the term to search for is 'live reload'

Most of them have you insert some snippet of javascript in the head of your pages that maintains the connection to the file-watching server. Lots of ways it's integrated, depending on framework and such, but worth a look.
