I am trying to write a webpage that will poll an outside script and return a value. Once back the js needs to process that value and dynamically update the page.

My problem. I can use the script and have it run once on the page load or i can use the image script but all it does is return the image.

Can anyone help

use a hidden iframe to load the outside script. Then you should be able to process the InnerHTML property of the iframe to get its content.

If you need this done in intervales, use setTimeout when the page loads.

You came to me rescue a couple hours after I figured it out. Thanks for the advice though. Turns out that your reccomendation was just the right one
