The stock quotes are obtained in "real-time" direct from Yahoo Finance. Note: as stated in the Yahoo Finance page, these quotes are delayed (for up to 15 to 20 minutes.), except where indicated otherwise.
Latest Version
==============
v1.0.3 (for Joomla 1.0) and v1.5.3 (for Joomla 1.5)
Released September 23, 2008
Thanks to Karen who informed about the "Division by zero" error when the previous trade value is zero. This sometimes occurs when Yahoo Finance reset these values a few hours before the market opens.
Have fixed the code so that there will not be any "Division by zero" error.
How to use
==========
You can display a single quote: e.g. YHOO. Or you can display multiple quotes all at once: e.g. GOOG,MSFT,YHOO. You can turn on or off any of these fields. And you can choose to display the symbols by row or by column. This is useful, for example, if you wish to display the stock quotes in the left or right module position.
Automatic Refresh
=================
Of course, the module supports automatic refresh without any reloading of pages. If your browser supports AJAX, the stock quotes will be refreshed once every 5 seconds. You can set this interval to be longer. But the minimal is 5 seconds. (Technically you can even refresh at a rate of once every one milliseconds. However, if you do so, I think Yahoo will soon come after you for absuing their servers. That's why I set the fastest refresh rate to be 5 seconds.)
Support for non-javascript browser
==================================
The module will also work for non-javascript browser and browsers which do not allow javascript. For these browsers, since AJAX cannot run, there will be reloading of the page when the submit button is clicked. The same result will appear for both the AJAX and non-AJAX mode.
