I am trying to update content from a weather service API on my webpage by using XMLHttpRequest. Unfortunately i'm new to using this javascript functionality. I have looked through the mozilla documentation but I am still a little confused of how I need to go about updating the info from the API on my webpage. My Javascript which includes the refresh function and the addWeather function. The refresh function is suppose to refresh the api information on my website every hour on the hour(which makes use of the xmlhttprequest that i need help on). addWeather function adds the API information to the html and it works well indeed. Here is the Javascript: <pre><code>window.onload = init; function init() { //populate the weather addWeather(); //refresh the page every hour setInterval(refreshPage(), 3600000); } //refresh the page information every hour function refreshPage(){ //make new request to the webservice var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.onload = addWeather(); } //add the weather info from the weather service function addWeather(){ jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $.ajax({ url: "http://api.wunderground.com/api/6368023a57d122c7/geolookup/conditions/q/DominicanRepublic/Barahona.json", dataType : "jsonp", success : function(parsed_json) { var location = parsed_json['location']['city']; var temp = parsed_json['current_observation']['temp_c']; var weather = parsed_json['current_observation']['weather']; var humid = parsed_json['current_observation']['relative_humidity']; var wind_direction = parsed_json['current_observation']['wind_dir']; var wind_speed = parsed_json['current_observation']['wind_kph']; var wind_string = wind_direction + " " + wind_speed + " Km/h"; document.getElementById("weather").innerHTML = "Weather " + weather; document.getElementById("temp").innerHTML = "Tempurature " + temp + "°C"; document.getElementById("hum").innerHTML = "Humidity " + humid; document.getElementById("wind").innerHTML = "Wind " + wind_string; } }); }); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
