Title: Timers & updating html
Post by: Big Ian on March 13, 2008, 08:19:40 AM

Hi All

How do I get a websource procedure to update html on a timer.  I've found the bit in the wiki that tells you how to update an image however I have a need to the html.

Any Ideas?

Do you mean something like a simple page refresh? You could put some script in the header, under the Title:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var timer = setInterval("autoRefresh()", 1000 * 60 * 3);
  function autoRefresh(){self.location.reload(true);}
</script>

Hi Ian,

Whatever is in the NetWebSource is sent to the server if the timer on the NetWebSource is on. Image, HTML, whatever. (Indeed an Image _is_ HTML).

However remember it MUST be XHTML, not "plain" HTML. see here;
