Server side updating - but what changed?

cheekychap

Hi all,

Got a script which uses server side updating and returns a bunch of "data".
The data is on a timer, so every X seconds, the server is asked for the data again.

Some of the data will have changed so I'd like a flash on that data cell using a CSS animation - think of a financial trading desk with data flashing away, that sort of thing.

What's the best way of achieving this? Currently all the data is being returned every time so I'm hoping there is a callback way of being able to compare the current value with the new before it's overwritten?

Thanks in advance
