> Try a netTextResult() after the getNetText operation is complete.
Thanx but sorry. The problem is that the network operation never gets done,
i e the netID never becomes 0. If I do this with a regular HTML everything
is OK, but as soon as I try a CGI call the operation goes in to a dead lock.
This happens with all CGI calls I do, so there must be something i am
missing.
Here are two code examples I tried.
on getTheData
startTimer
netID =
getNetText("http://htmlgritch.island.com/SERVICE/QUOTE?STOCK=qqq";)
repeat while netID
if the timer > 600 then
put "time out"
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
theData = netTextResult(netID)
return theData
end getTheData
startTimer
netID = getNetText("http://htmlgritch.island.com/SERVICE/QUOTE";,
[#stock:"qqq"])
repeat while netID
if the timer > 600 then
put "time out"
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
theData = netTextResult(netID)
return theData
end getTheData
No go...
