Evening all,

I'm going mad trying to find a website that demonstrates similar functionality to the specification below. I know these websites exist, I just can't find them!


A list contains the values 1,2,3,4 and 5, and the list is built to update itself automatically on a regular basis - could be live scores, stock market figures, statistics... something like that.

Say the updated version of the list contains 2,4,6,1,7... 3 and 5 would fade out, 1 2 and 4 would move position and 6 and 7 would fade in.

Does anyone understand what I'm referring to, and do you know of any examples on the internet?


Cheers!
 
i wouldnt know how to do exactly what you are after but i have an idea that might help get you started,

on 1 of my clients sites i had to create a chat room in php
in order to retrive the latest results from the database i wrote a script that sets a time value in a text file and every x amount of seconds the time will be compared to the last timestamp in the database, if the one in the databse is newer, then the script to retrive it is exacuted and a new timestamp added to the text file, otherwise nothing happens,

I am assuming you could use this same method in what you are tyring to acheive,

add timestamp to text file,
compare timestamp to last database timestamp,
exacute the code to display results in the order you want, (can be done using an id number or something like that, all depends on how your tables are structured,
write new time to text file,

just an idea to get you started, sorry if it is of no use to you
 
Hi Paul,

Not quite what I was after but thanks for the response anyway. The server side of things is already done.. I'm just after building the javascript side of things and wanted to find a site with similar functionality so I could see how they've done it.
