[ This is an Alternate Version of "Live Updates" ]
[ http://www.hawkee.com/scripts/12907760/ ]

A web script using ajax, php, javascript. All of it is Jonesy44's code, He gets all the credit. All i did was remove bits and pieces and change around some styles so you can fit it onto a sidebar, for example.

As per the original code, no database is needed, its extremely easy to set up. Just upload via ftp to your website/server and its already running! (Be sure to change password and to chmod updates.txt file - read the readme.txt)

Since this is just a modified branch version of Jonesy44's code, my versions depend on his, so if he updates to 0.3, i will make adjustments and make a compact version, 0.3c.
The files are relatively easy to edit, manage, and can do just about anything you want it to.

Live demo of the original: http://jonesy44.leadhoster.com/live/

Update: Removed live_compact demo pages from my site, its been a long time and cleaning up. If you MUST see an example, i saved it as a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/ATNzN.png

It shows just how compact it can get to fit into even the smallest of sites.
