I want to have a date (Today is January 1, 2005 for ex.) at the top of a site, and I want the date to change each day. Can anyone give me a quick step by step process for accomplishing this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing the following script:
<script language="JavaScript">TargetDate = "01/22/2010 7:50 AM UTC-0500";
BackColor = "palegreen";
ForeColor = "navy";
[code]....
Want target date to equal every day so it resets after the target date and time is hit. Optionally, it would be nice to have it reset 60 minutes after target is hit (so the FinishMessage can display) but if that's too complicated, I'd be happy to not have to manually reset the date every day.
I work at a bar in Louisiana and have been put in charge of the website.
Every day (Sun-Sat) we update the main page with who is bartending that night, along with a few other edits.
I don't come into the office until 2pm, Mon-Fri.
I would really prefer if the website could be updated 'automatically' at like, 4am or something, every day. Instead of me struggling to figure out how I'll update it on weekends.
I have to use FrontPage, so I'm limited in the types of codes I can use. But Javascript seems to work well.
What I'm thinking is have an 'updates' folder with pages labeled either by weekday (sunday.html monday.html tuesday.html, etc) or by date (072410.html, 072510.html, etc). Then the main page having some code that pulls from those files. (I'd prefer the weekday setup if I have the option)
Since the bar doesn't close until 2am most days, I'd rather not have it change over at exactly midnight, but I'm willing to work with that if it means I know it's being updated every day regularly.
I am trying to create an "image of the day" for a site where the image will change automatically every 24 hours. Currently, I have 30 images in a folder named "petday" (no quotes) and I tried the following code (found in this forum) but I cannot get it to work. I know there is an easier way to write this but I am not real clear on how to do it. I have been reading the lessons found at W3 schools and I think I can use a switch statement? Is that correct?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a site that I want to update frequently and change leader sentences around when I want through different subpages without going and changing the HTML on every page. I'm thinking I could use JS and define variables as my "blurbs" and links and then they'd set up across all the pages as defined. Or I could dive into more of an understanding of PHP & mySQL (i know some basics). Any advice/suggestions?
View 2 Replies View Related[code]....We have a set list of shows that air each day, and on the site we have a marquee tag on the homepage that scrolls through showing each show and its broadcast time. Right now we're stuck changing this schedule each day by hand, but it's tough considering we're all college students ourselves and sometimes our own schedules simply don't allow the time.Is there a code that would allow this kind of a daily update to happen automatically?

What im trying to do is have a count down timer count down to the same time every day. For example, if i set it to count down to July 9th 2010 8:00pm. At 8pm i want it to pause or wait for 30 min. During that time i want it to display some text. After that 30min is up i want to reset it to count down to the same time the next day. (July 9th 2010 8:00pm) ect. I figgured maybe adding 23 1/2 hours to it but i dont even no how to reset this thing, let alone change the time it counts down to.Im not asking any one to do this for me (though i wouldnt hate it) but i really need some direction. All i really think i know is that some functions nned to be placed n the "Else - (if variable = 0) then ........." Here is the javascript im using (it works but does not reset) it also takes some information from php:
Code:
// Here�s where the Javascript starts
countdown = <?=$diff?>;
// Converting date difference from seconds to actual time
function convert_to_time(secs)

I have a select box with information about people in it. When you click on their name in the select box, I'm trying to display information (Name, Address, Height, Weight) about them inside of a <div>.Now, what I am thinking is that I need to use selected.val() to pull the value (we'll call it id)of each person and have that id correspond with a row in an array. That row contains all of the information that I need.Does this make sense?I just realized that I posted this in the wrong java forum.

Actually it has been just 3 months i started using JQuery and its whole lot exciting with the things we can do using jquery. Is it possible to call a javascript function inside aaspx page created in sharepoint designer on a daily basis automatically .
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using the jquery countdown plugin made by [url] for a while and while I am pretty familiar with it, I haven't been able to accomplish what I want for one of my projects.
I want to be able to add hours/minutes/seconds to a countdown in real-time by clicking a button.
Let's say I have 2 countdowns. They both get their ending date from a mysql db, e.g: 2010-09-26 00:00:45 and 2010-09-27 14:45:00
When I click a button, I want the countdown Y to increase by the X amount of hr/min/sec, update my ending date in mysql, and update my counter for every visitors to see without having them refresh the page. I have tried messing with ajax, but wasn't able to accomplish anything close. (I got it to update every 1 sec but it would flicker then)
I want to have a textarea update a database column and then pull down the info from that column and display it, without refreshing. I'm using JQuery and AJAX and PHP and SQL to do this. So far I've been able to update the database row using my $.post() call. The strange thing is, my variables don't seem to be passing to the page - when I try to echo them or look at them they don't show up. Here is my simple index page and call (page names aren't indicative of what I'm trying to do, just placeholders):
<head>
<script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

$("#updatefield").click(function(){

I have a page that dynamically loads and unloads whole sections and creates complex links between various objects and have never been sure exactly what happens when an object that is being observed is deleted from the DOM. Since there is no longer any link to deleted objects, the listener objects obviously won't receive any updates, but do the underlying "listener" connections get purged as well? I guess it would depend on whether the listening mechanism is part of the listened-to object or is maintained in a separate area of the browser.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this Applet-hosted Socket connection to my server and in an
ONevent/function I am retrieving all these lovely rows from the server and
inserting them into the Select-List. (The on screen appearance of the Select
List grows for the first 5 rows then the scroll bar appears if there's
more). So far so good. . .
The problem is that none of the rows I'm inserting appear on the screen
until I have RETURNed from my function; so If it ended up being 1000 rows
then the user sees nothing until they're *all* processed :-( Is this an
IE6-only thing? Does it happen with Version 7 or with other browsers? This
is disgusting!
Is there an option to set somewhere?
Do I have to hack/force some sort of event (with coresponding ONfunction)
and then RETURN from my function and have the ensuing function call me back
and repeat till eof?
All I want to do is see my rows grow and counter increment in the
select-list (or table) as they appear; is that really too much to ask? Is
IBM3270 emulation crap really as far as we've got?
there's a line in my Javascript program that makes a change in the
appearance of an area of the screen. it is a game program, so there are
a cascade of changes after the user makes a move. these are carefully
sequenced and timed in a loop which contains the "action" statement
document.images[k].src = offGIF[currNode];
unfortunately, the *actual* screen updating appears to be 1)
asynchronous and 2) faulty!
_asynchronou_s in that things change in the wrong order, as if each has
its own thread and they run at random.
_faulty_ in that occasionally an area that would change from, say,
picture1.gif to picture2.gif and back again (according to game logic)
lands up showing picture2.gif. even though the internal game logic has
it recorded (and i assume document.images[k].src would be correct, even
though the screen is not) as picture1. so.
is there a way to wait or surrender control to the system until the
program statement's intent has actually been rendered to the screen?
something i can test to see if the unerlying system mechanism has caught
up with all changes to document.images?
I've been searching the web for a while now, and I haven't come across a conclusive solution for memory leaks due to replacing nodes with frequent AJAX updates. I wrote a class that pulls an RSS feed frequently (e.g. every 5 seconds) and updates an HTML element with new information. In the process, it removes the old nodes and replaces them with new ones. It works fine visually. The only problem is that it has terrible memory leak complications; when I put the script on to run, it increases the memory usage by about 1MB every few seconds at an accelerated 1000-ms delay between updates!
(That's 100MB every few minutes!) I discovered this when I let the script run for a few hours straight, not thinking anything of it, and when I returned to my computer, it was frozen up Opera seems to be the worst at its memory management on this script, Safari and Chrome are in the middle, and Firefox seems to handle it the best, but nonetheless there are memory leaks in all four. (I haven't tested IE yet, but based on what I read, I would expect that it might even be worse than Opera!)
