    Hi all, I'm getting my feet wet in HTML and have a question about refreshing data. On a web page I am displaying tons of data over JPEGS and want the data to continuously update. I wrote a periodic refresh of the whole page into the HTML but the reload displays awkwardly. Can I write in a refresh of the data tags only and not the whole page? Thanks in advance.

    Would you be comfortable using JavaScript? I believe that will be pretty easy with JavaScript.

    BTW, Welcome to DP.

    Could be done with Jquery.

    The important factor is from where do you want to update the data. From an internal or an external source.

    It's from an internal source. The tags i want to refresh on my webpage are already being updated in the htm file, I just need to push them to the page. Given this, is javascript the method I should pursue? As you can tell by my post I'm no programming wizard, I'm really looking for a direction to research. Thanks for your help.
