I have a problem that just came up today.
In the menu portion of our (internal) web site we have a stock status that
is pulled from another (internal) website.
We pull the data by adding the following to our page:
<script src="" http://theirsite.com/stockticker/close.js
<http://theirsite.com/stockticker/close.js> ">
<script src="" http://theirsite.com/stockticker/dir_inc.js
<http://theirsite.com/stockticker/dir_inc.js> ">
<script src="" http://theirsite.com/stockticker/change.js
<http://theirsite.com/stockticker/change.js> ">
The first one gives us the current stock value for our company, the second a
graphic of an up or down arrow, and the third gives us the amount of change.
Our problem is that today the site that provides us the _javascript_ has been
going up and down.
When it is down, it causes our pages to hang while trying to get the
_javascript_s.
Is there anyway to force a timeout on this? What I would like is if it
can't get the data in so much time we could put up a message that the ticker
isn't working at the moment.
Thanks,
Steve
