Best way to refresh data on a web page

[RGV250]

Hi,
I am pretty new (read hopeless) at web pages but have managed to read arrays (integer & floats) from Flowcode to an external page.
The issue I have is that the page gets redrawn everytime I refresh it which looks bad. I have spent ages looking at books and scouring the internet for a better way, I found XMLHttpRequest (using Javascript and Ajax) but cannot get this to work. It may be how I am trying to do it but then I was told JQuery might work so looking into that.
Does anyone have any experience with this who could point me in the right direction.

Hi,
Pretty much failed miserably on this, I have just noticed for version 10 it shows Web based applications *coming soon. Any idea when soon will be as that might be able to help.

We have no date for this addition yet, but I hope we will have something within 3-4 months.

Hi, you will want to use asynchronous javascript. Probably AJAX is the easiest way to accomplish this.

Is a good intro to using AJAX.

Hi David,
I did try XMLHTTPRequest as in post 1 but the problem is I have not got much idea on what I need to do. I have not got the files on this PC so i can't post what I have tried which is probably no use anyway.
Looking at the documentation it needs a file to fetch so I wondered if I should forget about the outgoing substitutions and use a CSV file or something. Or if it is possible to read the actual %xx variables with the HTTPRequest.

Regards,
Bob

Depends on your implementation, you could always write what you want the site to read to a file and have the XML request pull that file through and write the data to the page.
