He told you what he thinks you should do.  Which part of it do you not 
understand?  See the FAQ.

In this case, however, I think you should switch the versions by making an 
HTTP request and changing the content accordingly, either with XHR in the 
background or with the classic approach of passing a parameter to the 
server-side script, *because the data of a TV Guide can have changed in the 
meantime*.  

The former might be what you are up to; depending on the complexity of the 
presentation, indeed it might be better to request the HTML instead of just 
JSON, and replace the relevant markup instead of individual parts from the 
JSON data.  In the case of a table, you should then rewrite the whole table 
using the “innerHTML” property as that appears to be much faster than the 
alternatives.

Note that the results there are *old*, so do your own tests with “Test now”.

And get a real name if you want to be taken seriously here.  That goes to 
all of you – this is _not_ a chat room.
