How to load JSON content from URL?

[ricardo]

Hi,

I need to load some JSON content from a URL every n seconds. Everytime the JSON content is received I want a function to be called with the JSON content to process it and update the HTML on the page to display the results.

How do I do that? I tried using UpdateManager but so far it's dumping the JSON content into the <div> that has the ID that I used to create the UpdateManager. The JSON data is to be displayed inside that <div> but I don't want a straight dump of the JSON data.

Please advise.

Thanks

It's doing that because it's using the default renderer. Specify a custom renderer and use that to parse the JSON response and update the div accordingly.
