Simple ajax - yahoo quote retrieval and display in few lines

Have you guys wanted to have stock tickers on ur desktop/ web pages,
but can't use applets as they were heavy, too much configuration than
here is one approach and light weight solution all for free.

Ajax based solution refreshes data at configured time interval and you
don't have to wait for your favourite stock to appear in ticker. You
have all latest view auto updated and for all the stocks at one go.

In my approach i am using ajax to get data from yahoo, i am not saving
it just using it and using prototype.js modifying the csv and on the
fly displaying it in table.

Check this out for complete tutorial and code listing

See yahoo dashboard in action at
http://www.bhavyait.co.in/resources/yahoodashboard.html

Hope it helps as it is based on Web2.0 technologies and is super light
weight as is using only ajax.

I am looking for a clean solution to a problem that I solved in, what I call, a "dirty" way. Here is what I want to do. I have a dropdown list. Clicking on an item in the dropdown list invokes an AJAX call that gets data which populates the entire lower part of my screen. It does this with an innerHTML for the div tag that holds all of this. This works fine. I also have an "Edit" button that I want to show next to dropdown list,...
