likely, you have a consumer account with the strong proscription
against redistribution. Read your rules carefully.

Roland,
I already have an account that allows me real time access. They
claim to have a way, for I think $15 more per month to allow access
in other ways. Excel access works on windows according to them with
a deal you down load from them. Real time to excel. Anyway, if
realtime to a web service is more universal, then that is the
direction I want to try. The stock price is one thing, but there
are other kinds of information, beyond bid and ask, that would be
great. Like I said, this is going to be an adventure.

when last I looked, getting a real time or even a 15 minute delay
stock quote is very expensive. Not to the consumer, but to the web
server. Very restrictive. I couldn't afford the cost of the feed
so put the trusty @URL to work. There are a few places that have
clean html that you can trim down to just the stock quote. I had
site such that members listed their stocks and then when they
logged in, the @URL would go and fetch the current quotes and
display them.

Ben and Roland,
Thanks for your help. I was googling realtime stock quotes and
not getting what I wanted. So thanks. I have a ton of information
now to work through and make happen. This is going to be fun.

Ya know a little AJAX and and how water and you could clean
anything... ;-)
Just kidding
It is more like a little AJAX and a lot of JavaScript you can do
some amazing things
if your needing a push in ajax look at this link
http://www.hanburger.net/2006/03/25/first-crack-at-ajax/
I entered "AJAX Stock Quote" in google and got this on first page
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-ajax1/
you are needing a web service (simply a TAF that does some work
and returns its result in XML)
This is where Roland's reply to this thread needs to be placed
AJAX is just the mechanism to do the work in the background to
do page updates without having to do a refresh
Hope this helps
And happy thanks giving to All

Happy Thanksgiving to all, especially the Canadians on the list!
Just for fun, I have thought about putting together a little app
that would update my stock portfolio automatically. At first
through a page refresh and then eventually using AJAX. Something
for me instead of always for others.
Anyway, I have no idea where to begin. Where can I access this
information and have it return to my app? I have been googling
trying to find something that works with mac and so far found
nothing. If I have to use some kind of windows API, I am ok with
that. Just wonder if anyone can get me started?
Thanks,
Mark Weiss
