This may be concidered "Esoteric Minutiae" (I like that phrase). However, someone has asked a question about this and I don't see how to do it. So, here's one for all the Focal Pointers out there:

Is it possible to tell if you are in the component editor (AKA: HTM Composer) or actually running. I have a one-line javascript that puts a running clock on my launch page (a nice to have feature for your tool box)... It's active even in the composer. Weird. It creates a distracting flicker and interferes with updating properties. Is there a way to disable or bypass it while in the composer? Neither "visibility=hidden" or "disabled=true work".

BTW: Here's the code

You might be able to test the location variable value. I think when an html document is opened in HTML Composer, the JS location variable will contain "blank.html".

I'm not familiar with "JS location variable". Is it a "document.item.value" or something?

DevGuru: JavaScript > OBJECT: Location

I would add an if statement in your function to test the existence of "blank.htm":

function window_onload() {
if (location.indexof("blank.htm") =-1) { 
	// set a timer to fire every second to update the time display
	setInterval(function(){document.getElementById("tod_text").firstChild.nodeValue = new Date();}, 1000);  

	UpdateData();
}
}


This is untested code.

This is a case of Focal Point working as designed: Great minds thinking alike.

1) Thanks Francis, for pointing us in the right direction and for your solution which is very similar to the solution which Chris (the person who asked the original question) came up with.

2) Thanks Chris for your solution, as follows:
                // set a timer to fire every second to update the time display, but only display a placeholder in composer
                if (location.href.indexOf("WFServlet") > -1) {
                                document.getElementById("tod_text").firstChild.nodeValue = new Date();
                                setInterval(function(){document.getElementById("tod_text").firstChild.nodeValue = new Date();}, 1000);  
                } else {
                                document.getElementById("tod_text").firstChild.nodeValue = new Date();
                }

No need to repeat that initialisation:
// set a timer to fire every second to update the time display, but only display a placeholder in composer
document.getElementById("tod_text").firstChild.nodeValue = new Date();
if (location.href.indexOf("WFServlet") > -1) {
	setInterval(function(){document.getElementById("tod_text").firstChild.nodeValue = new Date();}, 1000);
}
