How would I get the indexes to display, for example: Dow Jones 14,724.26 Up 125.06 NASDAQ 3,254,77 Up 38.28 S&P 500 1,569.15 Up 16.79 Also, is there an easy way to get the footer to output a time-stamp, something simple like, "As of 04/25/13 at 12:35 PM ET"

I stumbled on to part of the answer. It looks like you are using Yahoo's service. So I figured out how to display NASDAQ and S&P 500 using "^IXIC" and "^GSPC" respectively. However, when I follow the same logic for the Dow Jones Index and Dow Jones Composite ("^DJI" and "^DJA") I get an error for the former and no data for the latter: Apple Inc. 408.38 +2.918 Exception occurred - Please check web service URL within settings. ^DJA 0.00 N/A NASDAQ Composite 3289.99 +20.34 S&P 500 1585.16 +6.37

Okay, then I also just noticed in the page source, inserted just above the DOCTYPE at the very start of the HTML output: at DataSprings.DNN.Modules.StockTicker.StockTicker.rptSymbols_ItemDataBound(Object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)Index was outside the bounds of the array.<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en-US"> <head id="Head"><title>

Hi Jeremy, This error just basically means that it is not able to find that specific stock symbol and so it will throw that error out on the top of the page. From our research Yahoo has changed this a few times where you cannot access that stock symbol (I have no idea why but if you Google Yahoo and Dow Jones stock symbol you will find many threads related to it.) Thanks, Chad
