Hi,
I have an HTML page that contain 2 iframe.
I would like to swap (display) from frame1 to frame2 every 30 sec.

Every single js that I put in doesn't work as it should. It either gives an error: "object cannot support reload()" or popup an advisory to authorize the resent of information or do nothing at all.

I've tried with metatag but it refresh the whole page.

Does someone can help on that ?

Regards,

Hi Martin

Rather than inserting two iframes, insert two reports. When inserting a report the system creates a frame anyhow but then you can use: IbComposer_execute('report1','report2') where report2 is the location. You can use a javascript timer to execute the command every 30 seconds. Will have to use a global var in JavaScript for the location to run the report.

Thanks Barry

Martin,

Can you please provide the piece of JS you are using to do this functionality? We will be able to assist you better once we understand what you have tried to do so far.

As Barry points out the tool will create the iframes for you, but I'm not sure thats your issue. From what I'm reading I think you want to A)switch between the two reports and B)you want to refresh the reports every 30 seconds. Allowing you to refresh one while its hidden so the user doesn't see the refresh.

If I were doing this. I would use the css display attribute to make one Iframe visible and hide the other. I would then use the OnExecute(form) function to refresh whichever one I just hid. I would then wrap this function with a timeout function that fires every 30 seconds.

Eric

Yes Eric, this is what I'm trying to do : refresh reports and switch from one to the other every 30 seconds.

I've tried many JS that I found on Google :-) but none seems to work as I need.

Here is the code with the " object do not support reload function" message

setInterval("refresh();", 10000);

function refresh()
{
	var ifrm = document.getElementById("EXPLIST");


	ifrm.location.reload();

}


The cal to setInterval is places in the OnLoad function. And in this, I tested with 10 seconds. EXPLIST is my iframe name.

Martin,

If you let the HTML Composer create the IFrames for the report for you, then you could use the code OnExecute(form1); where form1 is the id of your form for your inputs. You should see this in the onsubmit attribute of the form. If you didn't create a form, I believe the syntax is href="javascript:OnExecute(null, 'anchor1')" where anchor1 is the id of the element that specifies which request list to execute.

The html Composer creates a series of xml in the document which controls what information is passed, defaults, and a number of other things. In this case the important thing to be aware of is the requestlist attribute. This attribute specifies which report is being fired off and there will be an xml tag that relates to each requestlist at the bottom of the page.

Thanks to both of you.

I finally make it run using one iframe that display reportA or reportB from a loop with IbComposer_execute. In this sampl code I refresh every 10 seconds.


function window_onload() {
 
	UpdateData();
	loop = 1;

	setInterval("refresh();", 10000);
}

function refresh()
{
	if (loop == 1)
	{
		IbComposer_execute('PICKLIST', 'RPT_FRM');
		loop = 2;
	}
	else
	{
		IbComposer_execute('EXPLIST', 'RPT_FRM');
		loop = 1;
	}
}
