JavaScript - Refresh A Page At A Specific Time Of Day
This may be a stupid question, but is there a way to have a page refreshed at a specific time of day?
I have made up a page I set as my browser's home page, an electronic Page-A-Day calendar. If I am working on the computer overnight I would like this page to refresh autotically at midnight. I have seen all sorts of posts that describe how to refresh after a certain amount of time has passed, but nothing for what I would like to do. For those interested the code i have for the webpage in in the attached file. Nite Similar TutorialsI've a web page when a user logs in, it will have a link that shows the "username" and a link for "logout". After the user logs out, the "username" and the "logout" links will change to "login" and "register" links, respectively. The page uses javascript to check a user cookie, if the user cookie exists, it will show the "username" link and the link for "logout". If no user cookie exists, "login" and "register" links will replace the "username" and "logout" links. Here's the problem: When a user who has log in, clicks the "logout" link, a perl script will delete the user cookie, and redirects back to the same page. The page does not show "login" and "register" links AUTOMATICALLY. Both links will appear ONLY after the user MANUALLY Refreshes the page. It appears that I need a system to refresh the page automacally ONLY one time. How can this be done? Hi Guys, I'm embarking on a new project - although I've hit a wall. I require a page to refresh at a scheduled date and time, several times a day. For example, I would like the web page to reload the index at 3:15PM So if anyone has the web page open during that time, it will automatically refresh for them. Timing is quite important so I would need the script to use the server (hosts) time and not the end users time. I am currently deciding on which server language to use, although Javascript is probably a suitable option? or would ajax be more the thing for this? The webpage must execute the refresh at the time 3:15pm, so no matter when someone visits the page, even if its hours before, it must refresh at that time. If anyone has any pointers on the best way to achieve this and what language to start with I am forever greatful I do a lot of image design work and although I have worked with a few coders in the past but I haven't gone too much into coding myself, but its something I'm going to take time to learn and get involved in, so I'm not looking for script hand outs here, mainly just a nudge in the right direction. Thank you guys!! Hello everyone, I am completely new to javascripts. I want to have a count down timer on my webpage. I already found a script, but it does not do everything I want it to do. I couldn't find a script that did everything I need. I need it to do the following things: - Use the time zone GMT+1 - Reset everyday at a specific time - From 15:00 till 17:30: A countdown (so it shows 2 hours and 30 minutes from the start and count's down to 0 (which will be 17:30) - During 15:00 till 17:30 it shows: "The game is playing" - Once it is 17:30 I want it to reset and countdown till the next day 15:00 - From 17:30 till 15:00 next day it says: "The game will start in" So it is actually 2 countdown clocks in one javascript. One countdown from 15:00 to 17:30 (whilst the game is playing) and one directly starting after it from 17:30 till 15:00 next day. But both are displayed on the same spot. The countdown will be in text. No buttons or fancy images etc. Hope you can help me out. Thanks Code: <html>

First off, I apologize if I'm in the wrong area. I was referred to the site here by a neighbor of mine that has used these forums in the past. Before I move forward with finding someone to help me with some kind of a browser extension, I need to know if it is even possible to do. I have zero experience with anything code related, but wanted to do a little leg work here. The basic goal is to be able to input a specific time of day, and have the code execute a click on a button or link. The more specific the timing can be, the better. I've done a little research over the past couple evenings, and I see that there are ways to use time intervals. I would if possible like to use exact hour, minutes, seconds, and even milliseconds. Alternatively, if anyone has come across something that already does what I'm looking for. I would be much appreciative if you could point me in that direction. Thank you all for your time. Hello. My goal is to load the JS for a specific element before displaying that element. I integrated a third part script, and it works well. I set the timer he The JS is in my heading as <script type="text/javascript" src="countdownpro.js"></script> About mid-body I have: <span id="countdown1">2010-07-20 00:00:00 GMT+00:00</span> which allows for the setting of a target date to countdown to. When the page first loads it shows the above long format target time, until the js/meta tags kick in to modify it to just show the actual countdown as 00:00:00. I have attached countdownpro.js to this post. I tried shifting the function CD_Init() to the top of the script, and also appended it inline with the .html. I tried setting the big external script to "defer", but neither arrangement worked. I also tried placing the src file right at the top. I appreciate your help. I have a slideshow on the "Projects" page. The javascript is external. There's a link on the homepage that when clicked needs to open the Projects page with the appropriate slide loaded. How do I do that? Here's the code I have for the slideshow: Code: var prev = document.getElementById('prev');
var next = document.getElementById('next');
var current = 0;
function prevPic() {
clearInterval(interval);
if(current > 0) {
current--;
if(current == 0) {
document.getElementById('next').src = "images/right_arrow.jpg";
document.getElementById('prev').src = "images/left_arrow_off.jpg";
} else {
document.getElementById('next').src = "images/right_arrow.jpg";
document.getElementById('prev').src = "images/left_arrow.jpg";
}
update();
}
}
function nextPic() {
clearInterval(interval);
if(current < slides.length - 1) {
current++;
if(current == slides.length - 1) {
document.getElementById('next').src = "images/right_arrow_off.jpg";
document.getElementById('prev').src = "images/left_arrow.jpg";
} else {
document.getElementById('next').src = "images/right_arrow.jpg";
document.getElementById('prev').src = "images/left_arrow.jpg";
}
update();
}
}
function update() {
var pic = slides[current];
document.getElementById('project_title').innerHTML = pic.title;
document.getElementById('project_image').src = "images/slides/" + pic.image;
document.getElementById('project_location').innerHTML = "<span>Location:</span> " + pic.location;
document.getElementById('project_operation').innerHTML = "<span>Commercial Operation:</span> " + pic.commercial_operation;
document.getElementById('counter').innerHTML = (current + 1) + " of " + slides.length;
if(pic.link) {
document.getElementById('project_link').style.display = "block";
document.getElementById('project_href').href = pic.link;
} else {
document.getElementById('project_link').style.display = "none";
}
}
//preload slides
var images = [];
for(i in slides) {
var img = new Image();
img.src = "images/slides/" + slides[i].image;
images.push(img);
}
i have a page named pck_rates.php which contains a form that go to the page update_pck_rates.php when i press updade data button in the second page i want the first page to be refreshed to show the new data's. i want to know if i can set a name to the page pck_rates.php and after the update query in the second page i will refresh the pck_rates.php page using this name?? i don't know what is the function and how to make this idea. can anyone help me please Is it possible to change the URL when a page refreshes? E.G Someone clicks a link on index.php to page1.php. When you refresh page1.php it actually loads page2.php The reason i ask my site uses AJAX to change pages (therefore doesnt refresh and stays on the index.php page). So if someone has followed 3-4 links and refreshes the page it will go back to the homepage, i want it so it reloads the currently page (i can use query strings to get the relevant page) <HEAD><TITLE>main</TITLE> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://localhost/php_basic/short_pro/php/main.php"> <!--<script language="JavaScript"> var i=0; function validat() { setTimeout("moretext()",5000); alert("santosh"); } function moretext() { if(i==0) { alert(window.location); window.location.reload(); i++; } else { } } </script>--> </head> <BODY onload="validat();"> i hav written dis code to auto refresh page only once but it is refreshing after every 5 seconds. Earlier i hav wriiten meta tag but it is refreshing page after every 5 seconds & after that i hav wriiten script to auto reffresh page only once but they both r doin the same work,so can u plz help me in solvin my problem Is this possible? I am writing a script that will display an alert box that reads "your play was saved" after a user clicks the submit button on a form. The only problem is that after clicking save, the page refreshes. Here is the code I tried to use Code: function savedMessage(){
document.getElementById("CmdFinish").addEventListener("click",function(e) {
GM_setValue("Saved", 1); }, false);
if (GM_getValue("saved", 0) == 1) {
alert("Your play has been saved");
GM_setValue("saved", 0); // or GM_deleteValue("saved"); }
}
The button ID is "CmdFinish" and the value is "saved". Is there ANY way i can make the script run only on a page refresh? **Note** The script is for a specific page and not the whole site, so it wont run on every refresh on the site, only when it's needed on 1 page. Hi, For the last few day's i've been searching for a js/ajax div refresh. I need a js/ajax script that refresh a div every 10 seconds or gets menu.php file and updates it. Thanks. How can I write a JavaScript for the following requirement. I have to go to a link say
Quote: www.google.com and refresh it for every 5 seconds continuously. Thanks Hi Guys, Our company own a lot of domains and want to put a short page of copy on each address along with keywords before redirecting the user to our main site. I have been able to get the page to load the main site after the desired time using this code in the head... Quote: <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="40;URL=http://webaddress.com/"> That works perfectly, I am now trying to display a countdown timer from 40 seconds down to 0, and on 0 redirect the user. Saying something like "You will be redirected in XX seconds". Is there anyway of doing this? I've been searching google for the answers with no luck and can only seem to find timers that countdown to a set date. Thanks in advance! Ria All, I have the following code: Code: $(function() {
$("#check_login").click(function() {
event.preventDefault();
var $email = $("#login_email").val();
var $password = $("#login_password").val();
$.post("check.php", {email: $email, password: $password}, function(result) {
if(result=="Success"){
parent.$.fancybox.close();
window.location.replace("index.php");
}else{
$("#login_check").html(result);
$("#login_email").val('');
$("#login_password").val('');
}
});
});
});
I'm basically checking a user login. If the login is successful I'd like to close the Fancybox. This part works fine. I'm using an iFrame from Fancybox. If I don't have this part: Code: parent.$.fancybox.close(); It will reload the index page in my iFrame. How can I refresh my other page from the iFrame? Thanks in advance. How to modify the script so that after from refreshing after set time it should refresh for only x number of time. Say the page should reload after 300*1000 (time/seconds) for say 4 times (number). After the page has refresh 4 times, it should not refresh again. <HTML> <HEAD> <script><!-- function doLoad() { setTimeout( "refresh()", 300*1000 ); } function refresh() { window.location.reload( true ); } //--></script> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF onload="doLoad()"> hi there. i have a classic asp page that is using the winhttprequest object to get the contents of website from a different server. Then i modify the html i get to suit my needs.. save it to a file, and then finally, i display this stuff in an IFRAME. (i wrapped a div tag around the iframe so technically, i'm doing something like: "divtabframe.innerHTML = '<IFRAME SRC='myserver/somepage.html'></IFRAME>) My problem is that when i refresh the main page, i want the iframe to also display the latest data. It does get the latest data from the external site and its saved in "somepage.html". But the iframe isn't updated unless i explicitly right-click inside the frame and manually select refresh. I have added a <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30"> line to make it auto refresh on it's own. But the users find it annoying that the page refreshes while they're reading it. It would be ideal if when they refresh the main page, the iframe gets updated too. or i could create a new button too... as long as both pages are updated i did find this solution on a different website: document.getElementById(FrameID).contentDocument.location.reload(true); My page inside the iframe is ultimately "local" so it sounds like the above code should work, but i'm not sure what event would be best to trigger this javascript... and i still need a way to refresh the main page too. thanks. Hi, I'm having a problem with my page not resetting to the point where the user clicked on an element. I believe this to be a javascript problem, however, if it is not I would be glad to move it to the proper forum. What I have is a page with a div that contains a large image (a map). the dims are 1237 x 1550. I am using a browser window resized to approx. 800 x 600 so that I can simulate a smaller screen viewport. The page has links that are scattered about the map (positioned with css) and what I want to do is launch a video using the HTML5 video tag when the user clicks on a link. The video is supposed to open in the center of the users viewport and then dim the map div, which it does, however the page resets its position after the js function and aligns the page back to the upper left corner of the browser window. If the user had scrolled (both x and y) to the max of the scroll bar, then this will be fairly frustrating to have to keep moving back, thus my dilemma. I tried using scrollto to reset the scroll back to where the user was, but this is not working. What's funny is if I put an alert at the very end of the function, the page displays properly (video is centered on the screen where the user was in their viewport) but resets as soon as the alert is closed. I then tried using location.reload(false), but this keeps the function from running properly (the page shows properly for a fraction of a second then resets back to a newly launched page). Below is the code. Also, this has only been tested with FF and Chrome on my local drive. It is not anywhere on the web right now. In chrome, the page resets to the top only. I'm really not interested in making this work with IE since this is for personal/family use. Your help is greatly appreciated. Code: CSS
body {
background: black;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
div#bkg {
position: absolute;
text-align: center;
z-index: 1;
}
p#day1 {
position: absolute;
top: 800px;
left: 1000px;
font-weight: bold;
width: 50px;
background: white;
}
Javascript
function showVid(srcVid) {
// set the proper filename of the vid
srcVid = srcVid + ".ogv";
// create the video tag
var vidWin = document.createElement("video");
vidWin.id = "movie";
vidWin.setAttribute("width", "320");
vidWin.setAttribute("height", "240");
vidWin.setAttribute("controls", "controls");
// pic size is 1237 x 1550
var vpw = window.innerWidth;
var vph = window.innerHeight;
var xPosOff = window.pageXOffset;
var yPosOff = window.pageYOffset;
var leftNum = ((vpw/2) + xPosOff) - 160;
var topNum = ((vph/2) + yPosOff) - 120;
vidWin.setAttribute("style", "position: absolute; left: " + leftNum + "px; top: " + topNum + "px; z-index: 255;");
// create the source tag
var vidSrc = document.createElement("source");
vidSrc.src = "videos/" + srcVid;
vidSrc.type = "video/ogg";
vidSrc.codecs = "theora, vorbis";
vidWin.appendChild(vidSrc);
document.getElementById('bkg').style.opacity = 0.5;
document.body.appendChild(vidWin);
window.scrollTo(xPosOff, yPosOff);
// tried this, it didn't work
// location.reload(false);
}
HTML
<body>
<div id='bkg'>
<img src="images/pic1.jpg" />
<p id="day1"><a href="#" onclick="showVid('oggtest')">Day 1</a></p>
</div>

Hello! I have been designing a schedule website which will be displayed on several computers throughout the building, I would like to be able to edit the JS during the day but I do not want to be going all through the building refreshing every computer to make sure it has the latest JS version. I also do not want use the meta HTML tag to refresh because that is too noticeable with the images reloading. Basically I would like to only refresh the JS file. I found this link, but it has a button which defeats the purpose. Any way of doing this without the button? FYI, I have the javascript setTimeout("driver()",1000); already so that the clock stays up to date. Not sure if that will make things easier or more complicated... EDIT: not sure why the ICODE tags are not working EDIT 2: Forgot the website! http://www.philnicholas.com/2009/05/...ing-your-page/ Hi For our new site we need to regularly update part of page. What solutions are there for this purpose?? |
