Hi,
Using this javascript function:
function GetData(url) {
try{
ob_url = ""
var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlhttp.open("GET", url, false);
xmlhttp.send("");
/*var obj =document.getElementById("myspan")
obj.innerText = url;*/
return xmlhttp.responseText;
}catch(err){
return "nothing"
alert(err.description)
}
}
This returns the data that the url that you give to the function would
display, the only one thing is that only works in Internet Explorer.
The only problem with this is where do you want to call the function, for
that you could have a javascript timer of some sort that would do the job,
incrementing the text of an existing object as a <span>, for example...

Hi,
i have a server that recieves data often from a third party data provider
often. I would like to PUSH this data to the client webpage, WITHOUT
having
to force the user to hit refresh or without having to use client side
polling
and autorefresh. Once recieved on the client, i can use something like
DHTML
to add it to a table.
Any suggestions on how to go about this or what is the best technology to
use for doing this? Any sample applications out there doing this today?
thank you very much.
