i am losing my mind here what is wrong with this code the setTimeout is not working. I am creating a messaging system and i send and recieve data but i want it to appear on another window of the browser
here is the code
The below pasted code is my attempt to get the text of a span to change every second. However, it seems to just set the text of the span to be the last item in the array. Code:
<script language="javascript"> <!-- function reloadOpener(){ setTimeout(doItNow,2000); } function doItNow(){ window.opener.location.reload(); } //--> </script> And there's a button in the body that says:
onClick="reloadOpener();"
When I try it without the setTimeout function, the opener page reloads no problem. I just need it to wait a wee minute, but when the setTimeout is there, nothing happens. Ever.
For the sake of completeness I have tried it with:
I have tried the following code on FF and Safari on OSX 10.6.3 , and FF stop at after print out "step 2", whereas Safari did not print out "step 2" after the setTimeout("step2();",10000);

I hav a setTimeout at the tail end of a function. On time out I am running a function and passing argument values but they do not seem to be passing to the setTimeout.
For example (snippet from full code to save you time)
Code:
var billboard_number_new = 3; setTimeout("rw_billboard_num_chooser(billboard_number_new)", 5000 );
Even if I test with an alert it still will not acknowledge the value of billboard_number_new
Code:
var billboard_number_new = 3; setTimeout("alert(billboard_number_new)", 5000 );
I have two frames, one to the left, one to the right. The left one contains a form, which I'm using to take in user input, and at the same time to refresh the frame on the right.
The left frame's code is:
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function reload_right_frame()
[Code]....
This is where it stops working. The right-hand frame is not reloaded at all. I want it to reload after 3 seconds. The user input text is spewed out, though.
If I change the input type from "submit" to "button", however, the delayed reload of the right-hand frame works fine, but then the user input text fails to show.
I have the following function that's supposed to say "Please make a guess" 20 seconds after an initial confirmation is displayed. However, it's immediately displayed as soon as someone hits "Cancel". If I change it's time to 40000 (20 seconds after the initial function is called), it does do it 40 seconds total, so it kind of does what I want. So it seems that the second setTimeout is initiated from the time the script is called generally, but I'm looking for a way specifically to have the 20 seconds start only after the "cancel" button is hit.
basically #girl fades in #girllinks, then if the mouse moves out of #girl #girllinks should fade away after 1.5 seconds. that works fine however, i want it so if the mouse moves out of #girl and into #girllinks then the menu will not fade away.
I have a form and I'd like to change a background image when the form is ready to be submitted but wait for a few seconds before it can redirect to the action page. In order to do that I have used the setTimeOut function but it doesn't seem to care. If I integrate the preventDefault method the form doesn't submit in the end... $('document').ready(function() { $('#submit').click(function(event) { var error = 0; $('#key_form input').each(function(element){ if($.trim($(this).val()) == "") { error = error + 1; }}); if(error) { event.preventDefault(); $("div.warning").text("Please insert your activation key").css("border", "1px solid #F00"); return false; } else { $("div.warning").removeAttr("style").empty(); $('#step0').css({"background" : "#FFF url(images/unlocked.png) top right no-repeat"}); setTimeout(function() { $('#key_form').submit(); },8000);} //event.preventDefault(); });}); How can I accomplish that?
I'm sort of lost on this one. I've looked at many different examples and tried manyombinations but I still can't get this to work. Here's the code without the setTimeout:
$(seq).each(function(index, value){ var divID = "#div-" + value; $(divID).animate({
I have written the following code (quite meaningless. Just to check why setTimeout is not working in a similar real-life code) to enable the user to input a given time interval (hh:mm:ss) when a p is clicked, and then alerting the user with the time entered in the seconds portion one second after the div is clicked. But it is not working. I think the setTimeout is the culprit, the way I am passing parameters to the function inside it, but don't know where exactly am I erring.
I'm creating a list of online users. the problem is that when I refresh the list with setTimeout, the list of users disappears for less then a second and then reappear. I this because this is the time to get data from the server
I'm wondering if its because I don't fully understand setTimeout(). I have a web page that calls a function on the Onload. This function calls two separate functions and then uses setTimeout() to keep calling itself. Each function randomly generates a number and then I update the image.src with that.
If I run setTimeout() on just one function by itself, it almost always displays a new pic...but when I put the setTimeout() in the startup function a get a lot of duplicates. I've been watching it for a long time and I don't think it's a coincidence. Any idea as to why it seems like both functions don't run/update the pic all the time? If I uncomment the line, alert("hello"), it runs all the time? Code:
i'm working on a small idea and i would like to run this code:-
document.getElementById(id).style.height = origheight+"px"; after a set time period (about 20ms i guess ;) ), however, the following line creates errors:- var t1 = setTimeout("document.getElementById('+id+').style.height = '+origheight+'px' ",0.5);
Does anyone know whether the ECMA, or an other standard document, specifies a maximum for the value that can be pass to the setTimeOut() function in Javascript?
I am modifying the suckerfish dropdown code to use settimeout to have a slight pause before the menus disappear to make it more user friendly. I have hit a snag with the following statement:
out of the settimeout function, it works. (w/o the pause, obviously). With the settimeout function, I get "this.getElementByTagName is not a function" error.
I have tried putting this.getElementsByTagName("UL")[0] is a variable and then using that in the settimeout function, but then each li will only open the very last menu in the list. (ie all the menu items open the last sub menu) Code:
function StartSessionTimer() { SessionTimer = setTimeout('RedirectToSessionTimedOutPage(),60000) }
function RestartSessionTimer() { clearTimeout(SessionTimer); StartSessionTimer(); }
function RedirectToSessionTimedOutPage() { window.location = '/SessionTimedOut.html' }
When I load the page and call StartSessionTimer(), I know it works because the page redirects after ten minutes (the value of 60000). However, in certain situations I need to be able to call back to the server with AJAX and then have the timer reset - that's when I call the RestartSessionTimer() function. When I do this, for some reason the ten minute window does not get reset.
To troubleshoot, if I remove the second line in the RestartSessionTimer() function the redirect is getting blocked (as planned). However, when I put the second line back in, the page just redirects as originally called - the SessionTimeout value is never reset properly.
The code above looks good to me, but for some reason the SessionTimeout var does not get reset in the RestartSessionTimer function; it retains its original value?
