Time is ticking

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 16.02.2007, 16:22

Hi, would there be a problem to let the remain-times tick? That would surely need some J[ava]Script code, but it would help a lot - just let the browser run and only switch to it from time to time to see.

Thx

PS: I think that other code could be moved from server-side-php to client-side-js

This might be a nice option, but it is pretty easy to hit refresh whenever you want an updated time. And, even if the ticker is running client side, I'm curious what effect it would have when you click on your production page and pull up over 50 to 90 timers all counting down every second. Maybe it is not significant, but I imagine some slower computers might have trouble with this.

Slower computers will also have slow connection, then what is better? Hitting refresh or let them tick every second or every minute (who said it must be secod-sensitive).

And one other think... php.... local storage... would it be possible to crate off-line package of images? Oh, I think the blond lady in my office said something about... what were the letters... GTK+? no, something similar.

yeah, that would be it, but I'll have to pay for it, don't I?

superb, it's working. but:
First I must have filled the path in this form: "file:///c:/....../",
second: I am using Firefox, I already know how to tell Firefox that it can allow a certain server access to local files. Place user.js in your Firefox profile directory containing this:

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://www.kapilands.com");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");

and if you are using more servers like me, chain them:

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://world5.monstersgame.co.uk http://world2.techwarrior.co.uk http://www.kapilands.com");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
