VBscripting
Hi,

I have a problem and javascript isnt giving any answers..

I have lets say 3 pages:

PHP Code:
 index.php
next.php
last.php 


And i want 2 loop them unlimited. SO displaying them each 20 seconds. Yeah i know the HTML meta refresh or the JAVASCRIPT SetTimeOut. But the main problem is, that i want the CLIENT 2 check if page is available and if

YES --> Reload Page
if
NO --> Wait X seconds and start over....


Can this be done with VBscript (Or javascript) as they say it couldnt be done easy.

I would like 2 get some help on this one.....

Blade.....

A few questions...

1. What page are you checking the availability for?
2. Do you mean availability as in "is it loaded into browser / frame"?
3. Are you using frames for this at all?

Is the following code what you meant (I am aware that some of the code isn't right, but it is only an example)?

Code:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function checkForPage(page) {
  if (parent.someFrame.location == page) {
    parent.someFrame.reload();
  } else {
    return false;
  }
}

setTimeOut("checkForPage(\"http://somewhere.com/next.php\")", 2000);
//-->
</script>

more like
1. What page are you checking the availability for?
The client checks a page @ http://www.something.com/index.php

2. Do you mean availability as in "is it loaded into browser / frame"?
as in "could be displayed, server is up" then reload the page

3. Are you using frames for this at all?
I dont use frames for updating, but it is frames my layout...


PHP Code:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function timer() {
wait x secs
}

function checkForPage(page) {
  if (parent.someFrame.location == page) {
    parent.someFrame.reload();
  } else {
    timer(1000);
  }
}

setTimeOut("checkForPage(\"http://somewhere.com/next.php\")", 2000);
//-->
</script> 


but as u can c my javascript is ****ty :P

Hi,

I'm not sure javascript can do that (check if a server is up). javascript isn't that bad, just go to http://www.javascriptkit.com/ and do a few tutorials if you think you need to brush up.

I wish I could help you further, but I am not I understand properly what your trying to do. If you want to test if a server is up, you may want to use PHP instead of a client language like Javascript or VBScript (VBScript is Internet Explorer only). I'm not that great at Javascript either.

Sorry, if I got your hopes up. Hopefully somebody else will be able to help you better.
