This was supposedly updated October 2008, but the update wasn't "required" until now? I remember when this update first appeared, and I updated, and ^DJI didn't update. The problem has been there for nearly a year and they haven't fixed it. BTW, the same problem shows up in the Yahoo! Stock Ticker widget.
I agree with Christian. This new version of Yahoo Finance doesn't update DJI. What gives here? We were forced to upgrade to this "new" version and it doesn't work. I gave it one star only because NASDAQ, S&P and the stock I added do work, otherwise I would have given it Zero stars. Why would you release a new version that works worse than the old one? And worst of all you can't go back to the old one.
I love how ppl complain about too many results when really its that the company's fault that has many shell / subsidiary companies, or fund. type the relevant codes rather than the generic company name, usually the parent company FPO (follow-on public offering) is most relevant for the widget. Sometimes its hard for the layman to know which codes to use - despite my fiance background, I had to use my newspaper to find the right macquarie bank code
e.g: judging by previous comments, there are 97 companies owned by morgan stanley, and 24 citibanks as well. which ones do you want?
