I have a really simple app that I'm trying to build. Shown on a page is
an object that expires within 20-60 seconds. Once it expires, a new
object is created with the same time to live (and so on and so on). The
current object is loaded through a Tacos AjaxAutoInvoker. Additionally,
I'm using the Tacos form submit on the page to enable users to
manipulate the object.
I'm trying to implement a countdown that shows in real time how many
seconds are left until the object expires. I tried using another
AjaxAutoInvoker without specifying a listener, but it makes an AJAX call
anyway. I don't want to cause an AJAX call to happen every second to
simply decrement the counter (the AjaxAutoInvoker otherwise refreshes
the object every 5 seconds). So, I tried a little bit of Javascript. The
problem is, this Javascript causes the AjaxForm to be submitted in a
non-AJAX way (Debug message is: XMLHTTP Transport Error:0). Any ideas on
the best way to accomplish this?
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var now = new Date();
var seconds = (event - now) / 1000;
ID=window.setTimeout("update();", 1000);
function update() {
now = new Date();
seconds = (document.getElementById('ends').innerHTML-now)/1000;
seconds = Math.round(seconds);
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = seconds;
ID=window.setTimeout("update();",1000);
}
</script>
