Hello everyone. I have just finished the design of my website. But there is one problem, I know nothing about programming my stats to update automatically. My website is http://hockey.flyersgames.com On the right hand side there are stats for the top5 players on the team. I want them to update automatically instead of me manually doing it. If you can help me that would be great. Thank you.

Do you want these values to be updated from a different site? Or from somewhere outside your website?

Use a data base and asp or asp.net to get the stats from that data base. Now you can either put those numbers into a web form you write to update the data base or you can take the more complicated approach and try doing this with ado and an msde or mssql server data base and making a stat bot or .exe that can update your website for you. Unless the data is already online and can be accessed using ssl or winsock from a nhl server or something you are going to have to type the stats somewhere I am afraid. Can you connect to the nhl server in any way shape or form and get these stats? Because if so you can just do the latter approach and connect to the nhl server using winsock and query them and then use ado to update the data base, I am doing something similar right now to connect to useast.battle.net and get stats for starcraft players.
