There is an alternative to AJAX that is far simpler for simple (non-interactive) uses.

Decried and eshewed as they are, IFRAMEs are simple to use. Combined with a <META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh..., they are the simplest way to provide dynamic updates without full page refreshes.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The code zentara mentioned uses Finance::YahooQuote to fetch that info. I don't know how fresh the quotes are, but they should be quite fresh if not up to date.	[reply]
