Updating text?

Question

Hi,
I have been having some trouble recently trying to create a "live" currency count; whenever I change the currency variable, it doesn't update the currency written on the document unless you refresh the page. I have seen people make scripts so that it auto updates when changed. Can someone explain how this is done to me? Any help is always appreciated 😃

Answer 1

you can check my SessionTimer code.
Only native js.
Just change element with js or jq which you need to change with needed interval.

Hope you don't need to get values from other source(site/file) :D

If you need...you'll need to get it with some interval +change values inside of element same way.

Answer 2

you need to send requests every 10sec-1min to check the currency value

Ok, is there a command / function to do so?
