adamfr Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 OK.. I have a page that refreshes every 5 second, I have a td that if u dbl click it u open a menu and when u do I want the page not to refresh for 12 seconds so whoever opens that menu will have time to do what he needs..my first idea was a META tag that refreshes the page but I can't change it in any way I really wanna know if its possible to change it.. nd GetElementById or ByTagName are no gooa cause it dosen't works with META as I've seen so I tried to make a funciton with setTimeout and still no good..does anyone has any idea how to do it without making to page to reload b4 the value changes? or maybe how to change the content of a mETA tag?????

aspnetguy Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 you can access the meta tags with JS like this var meta = document.getElementsByTagName('meta'); Or you could just control the refreshing with a JS timer in the first place. That would make it easy to change the refresh times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate570 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Here's a javascript sample: <script type="text/javascript"> function refresh() { window.location.reload(); } /* In this, you'll have to have a function named "menuUp()" that returns "true" or "false" depending on whether your menu is up or not. */ if(menuUp) { //checks if the function returned true x=setTimeout(refresh,12000); } else { x=setTimeout(refresh,5000); }</script> Hope that helps.Choco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
