so if the parent has been updated, the child follows?
There are two different update mods of a WebParser measure. Such a measure, no matter if it's the parent or the child measure, like any other measure of your code is updated according to the Update option set on the [Rainmeter] section (to make things little bit simpler, let's assume there are no UpdateDivider options set). But this is not the update which lets the parent measure to go outside and acquire the online information which it is supposed to acquire. This information acquiring process is controlled by the UpdateRate option of the parent WebParser measure (once again: I assumed above there is no UpdateDivider defined on any measure, which means it is not on the parent WebParser measure either). When the parent WebParser measure gets the online information, this is taken over by the child measures as well, on the same update cycle (immediately). Why can't you use UpdateRate on the child measures is because this option is meant to control when the WebParser measure goes to read the online information, but a child measure never does this. It just takes over the information acquired by the parent measure, through a "normal" update process.
Here you have an excelent description of all this things.
