Your code references "quoteDetails" but the div you provided is "myDivId". Other than that I don't see anything wrong with it. updateFreq should be writeable using your approach although I haven't tried it.

Try a simple script:

var myWidget = dojo.widget.byId("myDivId");
 myWidget.updateFreq = 10;

Use a breakpoint in FireBug to ensure the widget is found and that the updateFreq member is public.

Hope that helps,

Ok I've made some progress but now i'm stuck. What I did was have a a div tag

<s:div id="myDivId" theme="ajax" href="%{url}" formId="frmMyForm" showLoadingText="false" updateFreq="5000" autoStart="false" startTimerListenTopics="/startTimer"
stopTimerListenTopics="/stopTimer" />

then I have select box
<s:select id="refreshEvery" onchange="updateFreq(this)" list="myList" />

then on my updateFreq function i have the following:

function updateFreq(obj) {
if (obj.selectedIndex == 0) {
        dojo.event.topic.publish("/stopTimer");
} else {
        // get Div and update frequency
        var quoteDiv = dojo.byId("quoteDetails");
        quoteDiv.updateFreq = obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value;
        dojo.event.topic.publish("/startTimer");
      }
}

Right now everything is working except the change to the updateFreq. When
the timer starts it still keeps with the 5 second interval Is it possible to
access this property and change it?

Hi,

I'm having a hard time trying to implement this - I want to have a select
box containing options for the user to select the update frequency of my
div tag. So my select box has "no refresh", "30 seconds", "60 seconds",
"120 seconds" and depending on what the user selects the frequency will
change.
I was thinking i could make a topic to change the updateFreq parameter
then with the onchange event with the select tag i'll make a call for that
topic:

dojo.event.topic.subscribe("/changeRefresh", function(data, type, request)
{
  // code to change the updateFreq of the div tag
}

<s:select onchange="onchange="dojo.event.topic.publish('/changeRefresh')"
......

I just don't know how to access the div tag and change the updateFreq
parameter. I tried using the dojo.byId("myDivId") function but it didn't
work. Suggestion on how to do this?

Also just curious as to why there's no type variable when i call my topic
from an event like onchange, it's always undefined.
