How to refresh part of a page automatically

2013-10-17 Thread Mike K
I have a page with a webcam image in it. The webcam uploads a new image every 60 seconds, and I use a HTML refresh to refresh the whole page every 60 seconds. It seems a bit clunky to me. It's worked just fine for several years, but I'd like to see if i can find a way to refresh only the div

You can use a setInterval call in JS to run every 60 seconds and reload the image. You don't need a jQuery plugin for this. On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 6:16 AM, Mike K afpwebwo...@gmail.com wrote: I have a page with a webcam image in it. The webcam uploads a new image every 60 seconds, and I

Real quick example here. It uses a date object to add a unique URL parameter to the end which should help with caching. No jQuery used, just standard HTML. The querySelector call is *kinda* modern-ish only (see caniuse.com for specifics) and could be replaced by document.getElementById. Oh - and

You should try putting your content into a variable using cfsavecontent and then choose to display in the browser or send an email. You cannot wrap the begin and end tags of a cfmail the way you are doing. cfsavecontent var=mycontentcfoutputYour stuff/cfoutput/cfsavecontent cfif generate_email

The subject to your problem says it all. This is a syntax error. You cannot wrap the begin and end tags in a conditional statement. That breaks the syntax rules of the ColdFusion parsing engine and seems like a clunky solution anyway. You either want to mail the content or display it, so

If you want to get anal, you could set a setTimeout and listen for the load event on the image. That way if it takes a bit longer to load an image one time the code will hold off on firing another request. (Probably not an issue though if you are waiting 60 seconds.) On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at

It seem like a hack to get around something that should work. Don't forget that syntax is checked at compile time and if at execution. See this code for instance: CFSET test=yes CFIF test TABLE CFSET test=no /CFIF table rows go here CFIF test /TABLE /CFIF This would
