The feature also supports automatically reloading the table in a configured interval, to ensure that the site visitor sees the latest table data. This can for example be useful to show things like up-to-date scores or results of a race or competition. This example table automatically refreshes every ten seconds, to show a (fictional) competition ranking (with automatic sorting by the “Points” column):
| Name | Team | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Chris | 🟨 | 76 |
| Alex | 🟥 | 73 |
| Bryce | 🟩 | 35 |
