Is there a way to get a real time stock price via javascript for use in an html page?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'm glad that you found what you wanted.
Sorry mine wasn't quite what you were after, but i'm sure you'll agree it was interesting anyway!
If there's any more I can do to help/encourage you with Mahalo then let me know. I'd be glad to help.
A scrolling stock ticker was not quite what I was looking for.
I wanted to capture a current stock price as data from the internet to use in a client-side javascript calculation to work out the real time profit or loss on a certain position in the relevant stock.
The answer was to be found in this webpage:

It's all very interesting. I was not previously aware of this Mahalo site until it scraped my question from twitter and I got an atReply last week to tell me about your answer!
Thanks for your answer. Although it wasn't quite what I was after, it may come in useful at some point and as a result of this process I have also found out about Mahalo, which may in itself be useful. I have posted the actual answer I was looking for in case it is helpful to anyone else with a similar issue.
