I have a javascript code with a countdown timer that runs on the client side and is updated regularly to the date set in mysql db.
I want to make the timer stop when the internet connection is lost. I am thinking on using clearTimeout()...but I need to associate it with the internet connection.
Here is the script:
I have a script which needs to detect when the internet connection is lost and hold the content of the web page until the connection is restored.
I have been given a head start with a small javascript which I am trying to get to work.
My web page, I have a web page which contains some text and graphics but more importantly it also has an iFrame. The iFrame connects to an SQL database and displays data which is refreshed every 20 seconds.
Because the internet connection at the location where the script will be running I get connection loss which makes the iFrame loose its data. The Javascript I am working with is below.
Code:
I am having an issue with a script which fails when the internet connection is lost, and so it should.
Is there a way that the web page can be automatically refreshed if the connection is lost using JavaScript. I need to continually refresh until the connection is back on.
I know all about META refresh but that does not help.
I have managed to find something what I want on the internet (Date Countdown Timer) but the only problem with it is that it will countdown to the date according to the persons location, I want something really simple, I want a 60 Minute Countdown that isnt relative to anyones location.
This is what im using at the moment: [url]
If it was possible to ammend the time to (servertime) or something other than the users geo-location timezone, it would be perfect.
This is what I have sofar:
[url]
[url]
Also on the timer how would I do a replace when seconds is less than 10, it currently displays (45:9 instead of 45:09)
The problem is, the extension tend to crash when there is no internet connection, and sometimes, the http requests fail to communicate with gmail server, they got built up over time and end up flooding the memory.
[Code]...
I want to have a popup that shows up if the user loses connection to my website, i would prefer it to be in jQuery as that's what I'm using, and it seems more light weight on the page
I have this code, but it doesn't seem to work... it should check on document ready then keep trying every 5 seconds
PHP Code:
I found the below script that works fine for the actual countdown, but when the user refreshes the page, the countdown starts from 5 minutes again.
What I am trying to do, is handle users that put something in their shopping cart and then get side tracked or what ever reason and that same product then being purchased by another person when I only have 1 left.
So using PHP I am going to subtract the qty of that product by 1 and then I want the website to either put it back, if the users checkout times out, or if a normal process it is taken out permanently.
So long story short I think I need some sort of 'memory' for the javascript, so the user can't just keep refreshing and it starting from 5 minutes each time. Also it needs to be carried through to other pages.
Im putting together a pair of countdown timers that need to restart every 24 hours. One restarts at noon and the other at midnight. Im using Keith Woods plugin @ [URL]
So far I have been able to implement his serverTime function to sync to the servers clock and instantiated 2 countdown timers. so far so good.
What I need to do now is 2 things:
1. I need to define today + X hours to countdown to instead of setting a exact date like in this example:
var noonCountDown = new Date();
noonCountDown = new Date(noonCountDown.getFullYear() + 0, 5 - 1, 28, -12);// 2011, May, 28, 12pm
2. Once today is defined dynamically I believe that may just solve the problem and reset the timer. But I may not be thinking clearly here. So I guess Im just wondering if this is how you would go about making the countdown restart upon completion.
Here is my code that Ive got so far:
$(function () {
function serverTime() {
var time = null;
$.ajax({url: 'http://www.localhost.com/projects/countdown/servertime.php',
[Code].....
I'm using a javascript-based countdown timer that currently uses the client's system time to calculate the countdown. I assume that this line of code is where this is performed:
Code:
I'm trying to make the script use server time instead as some people may have wrong dates/times set or live in different time zones etc.
So what I did was use a bit of php:
PHP Code:
This gives a result but now the countdown is 30 days off. I am testing on my local xampp server (which also uses system time) so there should be no discrepancy. I also tried adding
Code:
But no difference.
I can post the whole script if required but it is reasonably long.
I would like to be able to know if there is internet connection
Something like this:
If it posibile to do something like this in javascript.
I'm having trouble finding example code to detect the presence of an Internet connection. It doesn't seem to be a very frequently asked question, as all I need is the answer yes or no (is the user connected or not).
I'm not interested in speed detection or any other aspect of the connection, just its existence or not. The reason is to be able to intercept link clicks on a CD-based set of HTML pages and pop up a warning if there is no connection; otherwise pass the request through to the net.
Does anybody know how to use javascript to test whether or not an
internet connection exists? Is this possible even?
It is possible to run dynamic web pages on a pocket PC without internet connection?I would like to read/write files using a browser on my pocket PC without internet connection.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like a counter/timer that will show in textboxes the time left to Saturday 07:00. When it reaches zero it should reset and calculate the time until the next Saturday 07:00, 4 weeks ahead...
Ex. next saturday is 19.3, when it resets it should set the timer to calculate the time to 16.4. 07:00, and when it resets again it should calculate the time to 14.4. 07:00. I hope you understand.
I know nothing about javascript, so i was wondering if anyone had any direct links to a pre-existing countdown timer
Bascially i would like it to countdown to midnight (based on users time zone) and then simply reset itself after midnight...
I need to create a page with 5 seconds of timer, which will cound down to 0, and then refresh the page.
Any suggestion on How to go about it and what Commands or Functions are availabel for use?
I'm making a webpage for a school project and I need modifying this timer here: [URL]I want it to countdown from 48 hours, and as soon as it counts down, I need it to reset. I need an endless countdown of 48 hours.

THE .JS FILE
/* Function List:
showDateTime(time)
Returns the date in a text string formatted as:
mm/dd/yyyy at hh:mm:ss am
changeYear(today, holiday)
[Code]...
yes ive done all the coding just cant figure out why the timers wont work correctly.
Trying to write a javascript countdown script. Here's what I got:
function timer(position,count)
{
var newCount
if (position == 'start') {
document.getElementById("timer").innerHTML=count
newCount = count - 1
alert(newCount);
setTimeout("timer('go',newCount)",1000)
}
if (position == 'go') {
document.getElementById("timer").innerHTML=count
} }
</script>
</head>
<body onload="timer('start',10);">
onload starts the timer at 10 and then my first step was to have to go down to 9. But I get this javascript error message: Error: newCount is not defined
But I have it as an alert right before I call it and it alerts the variable just fine. Why would it say it isnt defined?
I have a js countdown timer which counts down from 60 seconds to zero and when it hits zero it redirects the page.
Only problem is that when the user refreshes the page the timer obviously reverts to 60 seconds.
Does anyone have any code which would turn this into a cookie so that the location of the timer is stored each time the page is refreshed and then the timer continues from where it left off?
My timer is using setTimeout.
I've seen a couple of examples of this on various forums but none actually seem to work - my cookies are switched on.
Also, I cannot use form, input or anything else like this due to the third party software we're using.
I'm trying to create a countdown timer based upon[URL]...what I'm trying to do: The database has a date, then there is a certain amount of seconds. Say 60*10 = 600 seconds / 10 minutes.
Everytime somebody buys something the datetime in database will be updated to the datetime item was bought. Now my goal is that anyone who is watching the timer in REAL time will have their timer reset to 10 minutes when somebody else buy.
Now the probem is this. The timer works sometimes only. Usually the first 3 times after a page load when somebody buys an item it works. Then it doesn't work. Or work at random intervals. It just doesn't make any sense to me!??
[Code]...
What I would like to do is watch a countdown timer on a page, like the ones on swoopo.co.uk and then perfom an action depending on what time is left on the timer.
I've installed DOM inspector on Firefox and poked around with javascript shell and I think I've figured out how to read the timer and assign that to a variable, something like this -
var timer=document.getElementById('counter_index_page_162980').innerHTML;
Now I need to watch that so I guessed this would do -
while (timer!=="00:00:01")
{
var timer=document.getElementById('counter_index_page_162980').innerHTML;
}
alert('timer at 1 sec!');
But that just brings up an "unresponsive script" error in my browser.
Am I even close to the mark? I know I'm not going to win any auctions with this but I've already paid for the bids so I may as well use them now.
Using 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 am trying to find a script (and failed, even on google) to create a countdown timer on a website. The details are : a countdown timer that (a) runs off server time, not client time and (b) resets every 10 minutes. The only example i could give to clear up any questions would be something extremely similar to facebook app games : eg mafia wars etc energy refill timers so people visiting my web page would see a countdown timer that was counting down 10 minutes and then resetting itself, on the hour, 10 past, 20 past etc etc. And also, can the counter trigger a script, orwouldit be best to use a scheduled task for this? I do not want the timer to take the user from the web page.
I am not sure of the exact name of a such counter, so maybe thats why google is not giving me the answers i need. Also I know i maybe need php to run frrom a server time. I can code php half-competently, but javascript is out of my knowledge range at present (although i can usually see code and know how to adapt it to my needs etc)
