    Hey everyone,
    I have been fighting with this problem for a few months now and still can not find an option that I am able to get to work properly.
    Does anyone know of a way to display a companies stock price? I have found a few but cant get them to work as I need it to use javascript not php
    Thanks ,
    Chris

    Ok so I am trying to get the http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5150040/stock-quotes-with-javascript example to work. Are you able to get it working for me in a jsfiddle?

    Thanks for putting it into a codepen for me. I am searching the code and can not find where I can change the stock symbol. I need it to find PRW which is Petrowest Corporation.

    Looks like you’ll need to use PRW.TO for the symbol: http://codepen.io/ggilmore/pen/single-stock-price/14

    I’m guessing because it’s on the TSE, so ‘TO’ for Toronto.

    Great! You bet it does need the .TO so thanks for adding that. So close to finally getting this stock ticker up on the site haha

    haha I know what you mean! I actually had to dig really deep into the Yahoo Finance stuff to make any sense of their crazy YQL language. It took a lot of trial and error!

    I’m not sure if I’ll be able to properly debug it soon. For something like this, I like posting a question up on Stackoverflow.

    Can anyone see a way to get rid of the “Ads by Google, Stock Quotes, Shares Stock” on my stock ticker? I did have it gone for a minute and then things showed up again.
