Hi all,

Please look at : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8592380.stm

The content updates automatically, however, I can't see it doing any ajax requests, so i'm incredibly curious! How do you think it does it?

Sad story though :-(

Thanks.

on the bottom of the source code there is jason script: http://cdnedge.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/json/newsid_8590000/newsid_8592300/8592380.json?jsoncallback=bbc.fmtj.net.json.model.getFeedById(0).callback&client=bbcfmtj&cachebuster=cb126985399444464819

I was watching the site in firebug and on update this script "blinked". so thats the one they are using to update as far as i can see

They page is issuing request with javascript. You can see the requests with Firebug plugin.

I thought it would be that, however, after looking at the page in the firebug plugin there were no ajax requests being called in the console so, naturally, I was rather curious :-)

Did you choose 'All' in the Net panel? The request appear under 'JS' switch not 'XHR'
Giorgi
I did not. :-) But I have now. Thanks :-)
Jamie
You are welcome :)
