what am i doing wrong?

hey all,

i have the following client-side functions:
<script language=javascript>
function test(){
window.setInterval("sndmsg",10000)
}
function sndmsg(){
alert("HelloWorld!!")
}
</script>

Here's my server-side script:
Private Sub Page_Load(...)
Me.Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:test();")
End Sub

What i thought is should do is send an alert every 10 seconds. Please advise.

thanks,
rodchar

the test function runs (i tested with alert message) however in debug it does
execute the window.setInterval but after that nothing happens (no alerts), it
just sits there.

that didn't work. it's not even going to the sndmsg() function. am i using
the setInterval wrong or something?

First off, it's type="text/javascript", that language="" stuff is
deprecated and doesn't belong on the web.

Secondly, it's onclick="test();". Having the javascript: prefix(which
is taboo at best) is redundant.

<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function sndmsg(){
alert("HelloWorld!!")
}

function test( ) {
window.setInterval("sndmsg()", 1000);
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<input type="button" id="btnTest" value="Click me!"
onclick="test();">
</body>
