Countdown Refresh

[UG1234]

Hi,

 

Can anyone point me too a working example of a 'Countdown Refresh', i have found a few examples on the net however i had trouble integrating them.

 

Basically i want a 5 minute countdown do be displayed before the page refreshes.

 

Thanks for any help in advance

Can you post the code you integrated? I'll help you diagnose the issue.

Thanks for your response.

 

I have now managed to get it working with the following code

 

<script language="JavaScript">

 

//Refresh page script- By Brett Taylor (glutnix@yahoo.com.au)

//Modified by Dynamic Drive for NS4, NS6+

//Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com for this script

 

//configure refresh interval (in seconds)

var countDownInterval=60;

//configure width of displayed text, in px (applicable only in NS4)

var c_reloadwidth=200

 

</script>

 

 

<ilayer id="c_reload" width=&{c_reloadwidth}; ><layer id="c_reload2" width=&{c_reloadwidth}; left=0 top=0></layer></ilayer>

 

<script>

 

var countDownTime=countDownInterval+1;

function countDown(){

countDownTime--;

if (countDownTime <=0){

countDownTime=countDownInterval;

clearTimeout(counter)

window.location.reload()

return

}

if (document.all) //if IE 4+

document.all.countDownText.innerText = Math.floor(countDownTime / 60)+" minutes and "+(countDownTime % 60)+" ";

else if (document.getElementById) //else if NS6+

document.getElementById("countDownText").innerHTML= Math.floor(countDownTime / 60)+" minutes and "+(countDownTime % 60)+" "

else if (document.layers){ //CHANGE TEXT BELOW TO YOUR OWN

document.c_reload.document.c_reload2.document.write('Next <a href="javascript:window.location.reload()">refresh</a> in <b id="countDownText">'+countDownTime+' </b> seconds')

document.c_reload.document.c_reload2.document.close()

}

counter=setTimeout("countDown()", 1000);

}

 

function startit(){

if (document.all||document.getElementById) //CHANGE TEXT BELOW TO YOUR OWN

document.write('Next <a href="javascript:window.location.reload()">refresh</a> in <b id="countDownText">'+countDownTime+' </b> seconds')

countDown()

}

 

if (document.all||document.getElementById)

startit()

else

window.onload=startit

 

</script>
