Thank you for your help. I managed to get a timer function written, but everytime the timerEvent runs it blanks out the display.
The page loads and displays the weather and then calls the timerExample every second (for testing). But each time the TimerEvent runs the weather data displays, but disapears just as soon as it displays. While the timer is counting to the next event the weather does not display. Then after it's complete it leaves the display blank. Below is the entire code. I would be greatful for any suggestions. Maybe its the datagrid, just not sure.
