Hello,
I'm trying to fetch some data from a Perl script and have it begin to
display as many times as there is data. More or less a "data"
slideshow. The data is actually very visual, but at the moment, i dont
want to implement a pause, forward/backward option, until I get the
automatic option working.
Basically what I'm trying to do is have the content load, wait, load,
wait, etc....With a reasonable 2 - 3 seconds between each load...Here
is the code I have that isn't quite working:
$(document).ready(function() {
var date_reg = $("input#date_requested").val();
var counter = -1;
while (counter <= date_reg)
{
$("#result").load('/get_time_lapse.pl', {date_requested:
date_reg});
counter = counter + 1;
date_reg = date_reg - 1;
}
});
where date_reg is just the number of times I want to load the screens.
However, if I look at the logs for my Perl script, it does say all 10
calls, immediately, as fast as it can. I've tried to put a javascript
pause or whatever that function was called in here, but it doesnt seem
to work.
Any suggestions to implement a pause between each .load?
Thanks
