JavaScript - How Do I Kill A Script After A Time Interval?

I have the following code on my site.

I use this in the header of mysite

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

var weekdaystxt=["Sun", "Mon", "Tues", "Wed", "Thurs", "Fri", "Sat"]
var montharray=("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December")
function showLocalgetthedate(){
var mydate=new Date()
var year=mydate.getYear()
if (year < 1000)
year+=1900
var day=mydate.getDay()
var month=mydate.getMonth()
var daym=mydate.getDate()
if (daym<10)
daym="0"+daym



function showLocalTime(container, servermode, offsetMinutes, displayversion){
if (!document.getElementById || !document.getElementById(container)) return
this.container=document.getElementById(container)
this.displayversion=displayversion
var servertimestring=(servermode=="server-php")? '<? print date("F d, Y H:i:s", time())?>' : (servermode=="server-ssi")? '<!--#config timefmt="%B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S"--><!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->' : '<%= Now() %>'
this.localtime=this.serverdate=new Date(servertimestring)
this.localtime.setTime(this.serverdate.getTime()+offsetMinutes*60*1000) //add user offset to server time
this.updateTime()
this.updateContainer()
}

showLocalTime.prototype.updateTime=function(){
var thisobj=this
this.localtime.setSeconds(this.localtime.getSeconds()+1)
setTimeout(function(){thisobj.updateTime()}, 1000) //update time every second
}

showLocalTime.prototype.updateContainer=function(){
var thisobj=this
if (this.displayversion=="long")
this.container.innerHTML=this.localtime.toLocaleString()
else{
var hour=this.localtime.getHours()
var minutes=this.localtime.getMinutes()
var seconds=this.localtime.getSeconds()
var ampm=(hour>=12)? "PM" : "AM"
var dayofweek=weekdaystxt[this.localtime.getDay()]
this.container.innerHTML=formatField(hour, 1)+":"+formatField(minutes)+":"+formatField(seconds)+" "+ampm+ "
"+montharray(month)+" ("+dayofweek+")"
}
setTimeout(function(){thisobj.updateContainer()}, 1000) //update container every second
}

function formatField(num, isHour){


</script>

I use this to display the information.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
new showLocalTime("timecontainer", "server-php", 0, "short")
new showLocalTime("timecontainer2", "server-php", +300, "short")
new showLocalTime("timecontainer3", "server-php", +360, "short")
new showLocalTime("timecontainer4", "server-php", +600, "short")
</script>

This gives me 4 clocks which i set at different time zones

Can someone assist me in showing me a way to accelerate the time for this clock. I would like the minutes to be only 5 seconds long versus the normal 60 seconds per minute. I fly a flight sim and the in game world clock is accelerated at this pace and my squad would like to be able to see the time it would currently be in the game so we can avoid launching the game at certain in game times. If this can't be done, does anyone know of a separate java script that can accomplish this? Thank you in advance, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Suppose I have some function ... myFunction();
And I want it to be executed from 3am - 11pm but not at any other time
So far what i had done is along the line of

Code:

for(i=0;i<99999;i++)
{
var time = new Date();
var hours = time.getHours();
if (hours>=3 && hours<=23){
myFunction();
}
}

What happens so far is that:

If it is the right time it loops over and over and continually executes the function (which is what I want)

If it's the wrong time (not 3am-11pm) it loops once, doesn't execute the functoin and then the script finishes (whereas I want it to continue looping until the right time comes along)

If its the right time and then it moves to the wrong time it stops looping, whereas i want it to not execute the function but continue looping until the right time comes around again.


So the overall affect is that at the given times of day the script plays and when its not the correct time it doesnt and then when it is the right time again it starts playing again, seemlessly and continually

Hi,

I am trying to implement a script which redirects visitors to one of 24 html pages based on the hour it is when they visit. I have tried a number of other script I could find and nothing even close to working has been achieved.

The pages are named: 0.html, 1.html, 2.html.....up to....22.html & 23.html

I already have a simple script in use for the day of the week and am sure there must be something similar I can do for the hour of day.

Any help that can be offered will be greatly appreciated as this is driving me mad.

Hello,

I want to change time format from 12 to 24 hours and remove AM and PM in this script. Anybody can help me?

I don't know if this is possible, so I figured I'd ask a few gurus. I know it is possible to have an image change at a certain time of day, and it's also possible to have an image change by day, but is there a script to do both?

What I want to do is have the first image show from 8am cst to 6pm cst mon-fri, it's our open sign for live chat. The the rest of the time have the second image.

Is this possible with any type of script? Any help you can give is greatly appreciated!

Hi there,

I saw this on the website for the new blackberry playbook and want to do something similar to that. http://us.blackberry.com/playbook-tablet/ Does anyone know of a script that will let me have 5 pictures or so and it will automatically go through them all but you can fastforward to the picture you like by clicking on a dot at the bottom like on the blackberry website? Hope I explained that well enough

Hello everybody

I am new here and my English is not very good, sorry. I hope this post is in the correct forum.Thank you in advance for helping me out.
I am from the netherlands and we are having a problem with a script.

I will explain a few things so everything is clear for you.

We are a member from a website: www.onderdelenzoeker.nl Through this website customers can ask for used carparts. If we have these parts in stock we can send the customers an email trough this website. (we are loggin in at leden.onderdelenzoeker.nl)
We don't have a regular stock and price so every email we send is unique. That is why we are using this script. When we are sending a customer an email, this script will put the parts in our webshop with the prices. The customer will get an email with a unique link and can order the parts and pay trough the internet.
But now the problem , this script won't work the first time. If we fill in a form and send it the first time the script won't work (the customer is getting an email but without the link and the parts are not in the webshop). If we fill in the same form a second time and send it the script is working and the customer is getting an email with a link and the parts are in the shop.

Now the script is working in IE and we are using Trixie (is the same like greasemonkey is for FF)

I hope I have written down all the information you need. And I hope there is somebody who can help me out.

Thank you for your time and effort. Nicole

hello
i found this script for a datetime picker for a class project, which you can see he

I am developing a web page which contains a java script file. Java script file is created using excel tool. My problem is that the execution time of a java script function is very high,mainly in chrome browser. what will be solution to overcome this?

when someone selects a date it shows ok in the field but the checker script can not view it for some reason, i have an alert show the content, if i place the alert before everything it unblurs and the tick shows, but i have to click the alert off for the tick to show. The alert show nothing on the first run.

just a thought, but would the DOM not be updating quick enough for the next line to read the content ?

reason i ask is that with the alert line in the code it shows the previous state of the field when i change the date to something else.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

function checkValidFormInput() {
redX = '<img alt="Invalid" src="images/redX.png" style="width: 18px;">';
greenTick = '<img alt="Valid" src="images/icongreentick.png">';


alert('.' + document.getElementsByName('j1date')[0].value + '.');

document.getElementsByName('j1date').blur();



		if (document.getElementsByName('j1date')[0].value == '') {
		document.getElementById('j1dateImg').innerHTML = redX;//
		} else {
		document.getElementById('j1dateImg').innerHTML = greenTick;//
		}

	}
</script>

</head>

<body>

<? // for some strange reason the following lines need to be here for the date picker to work! ?>
<table class="ds_box" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="ds_conclass" style="display: none;">
    <tr><td id="ds_calclass"></td></tr>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript" src="datetimepicker.js"></script>
<? // end of date picker storage ?>


<form method="POST" action="index.php">

<li class="value"> <input type="text" autocomplete="off" name="j1date" id="j1date" value="<?=$j1date;?>" style="width: 200px; float: left;" onClick="ds_sh(this);" onBlur="checkValidFormInput();"> <div style="float: left;" id="j1dateImg"></div><br style="clear:both"> </li>

</form>

</body>
</html>

attached is the datetimepicker.js
you will need to remove the last part .txt from the above file name

here ind==1 is from_time and ind==2 is to_time,i need to validate time as to_time must be always greater than from-time,if condition fails an alert msg should populate.time format is[05:00]as it is in string format im unable to do the validation for it.(ex:from-time=08:00 to-time=07:59 condition fails)

thank you.
