Live "Feeds" on my Site
I have a site that provides results for running events, nordic ski events, cross-country running, etc. I would like to re-design our home page to provide continuous feeds (via something like an iframe or a plugin so that when folks come to the site for results they can get some news as well.
Thanks~
Thanks~
Sounds great. Do you have any issues with the site or looking for someone to do it for you?
Hi,
For this you can use RSS.
You may just implement a RSS client for your home site. and may need to implement or consume RSS services from other data providers.
Thanks and Regards

Do you know of any resources for implementing this process? Is it difficult to do for a hack programmer like myself?
BobbaBuoy, This can be very easy.
1) Create an ASP page as you already know how.
The page may simple contain a list of results from your db. The page should not have anything else. Just your list which could be a table or div's
Road Runner 14:58:12
Mr Magoo 15:24:32
Bugs Bunney 15:25:47
W. Coyote 15:38:25
or
Road Runner - 14:58:12 Mr Magoo - 15:24:3 Bugs Bunney -v15:25:47 W. Coyotev-v15:38:25
2) On the the home page, create an ajax post that brings in that page.
You can wrap that in some type of timer that refreshes every x seconds.
There are also ticker plug ins for jquery like http://jonmifsud.com/open-source/jquery/jquery-webticker/

$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "results.asp"
})
.done(function( data ) {
$('div#ticker').html(data);
});
The code above will place the data from results.asp to a div with the ID "ticker" on your home page.You can wrap that in some type of timer that refreshes every x seconds.

Thanks but what I am looking for is feeds from things like Track & Field News, Runners World, NCAA Cross-Country, etc. I woud like a set of "feeds" that have links that are posted by the host site that my users can simply click on if an article piques their interest.
I don't really want to go the i-frame route...I assume there is better technology for this out there, no?
Sorry if i have not made this clear.

Thank you so much!
Thanks! By the way, the jquery method I posted in the last post is not correct or that simple because it is cross domain. Use the serverside xmlhttp post method.
Thanks! Happy New Year!
