Looking to speed up script process
Hi
Description of my script:
The script uses the ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") to request information from various sites and display the information into one page.
The site looks up stock quote information so since I plan on looking up hundreds of stock quotes I looped the functions so that it would lookup the symbols from an array and retrieve the information.
Issue:
The script works fine, the only problem is that it takes too long, and I would like to see if I can somehow decrease the time it takes.
Here is the code
HTML Code***********
<html>
<head>
<script src = "getdata.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href = "javascript:getdata()">Get Data</a>
<table border = 1 cellspacing = 0 cellpadding = 0 bordercolor = '#c2d69a'>
<tr align = 'center'>
<td nowrap width = '40px'>Order</td>
<td nowrap width = '60px'>Symbol</td>
<td nowrap width = '200px'>Company</td>
<td nowrap width = '60px'>Price</td>
<td nowrap width = '60px'>Change</td>
<td nowrap width = '150px'>Barchart Overall Average</td>
<td nowrap width = '150px'>Stock Scouter Rating</td>

<td nowrap width = '50px'>Status</td>
</tr>
