I need to read a page from the server to get the data of an element that the server will dynamically change.
I don't want to re-display the entire page -- I just want to read from the server just the single element that changed, and only re-display that single element.
This is because it is a vxworks server page and the single element will be a dynamically chaning windmark (vxworks's method of exposing vxworks data to a web page).
I never worked with vxworks, but I think an Ajax request will also do it in this case. With Ajax you are able to load specific elements of your site asynchron. This means the whole site doesn't reload, only the element. Normally I use the JQuery framwork for this, as it easier to use. For more information check it here: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
