雅虎财务数据javascript

Question

1. I am currently holding a Drupal 7 site.

2. I would like to build a block with yahoo fiance api data on my sidebar, like:

    Nasdaq 2,951.23 16.18 +0.55% Dow 12,871.39 -8.70 -0.07% 

3. I would like to do it using javascript, because in Drupal, I could make the js code directly imbedded in my inline content, which is easier than doing with php codes.

And the data I got from yahoo fiance is in .csv format, I need to parse it remotely from yahoo finance with the query looks like: http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s= ^IXIC,^GSPC,^FTSE,^GDAXI,^FCHI,^N225,^HSI,^STI,^BSESN,^NSEI&f=sl1c1&e=.csv

Ok, guys, help me out of this please.

Thanks

Unfortunately you will not be able to download a csv file from an external domain (yahoo.com) and show it to your users using JavaScript alone. There are cross domain restrictions preventing that.

You can however use a JSON version for finance data, like this with jQuery:
