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?

thanks,
rodchar
 
great i see the error of my ways but shouldn't the alert popup every 10
seconds? it pops up when i first push the button but none after that?

thanks,
rodchar

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>
