function imgRefresh(){

document.cimage.src = "autosnap.jpg";
}

function change() {
var webcam = new Image();
webcam.src = "autosnap.jpg";
for (x=5000; x<10000000; x=x+5000){
setTimeout('imgRefresh()',x);
}
}

This code works, but it just refreshes the cached image. If I put in an alert or something it will refresh every 5 seconds. Any ideas on how I can get the script to reload the image?

Thank you

Max is correct, the script loads the page.

Perhaps this will change the image.

</script>

Search Engine

The above code switch image every four seconds, change to any time you reguire.

Hope this helps

Thanks

Hi PDavis,

try adding this to the image tag of the image you want to reload on a timed basis onLoad="setTimeout('history.go(0)',5000)"it appears to work in both browsers. replace my 5000 with the number of miliseconds to wait between refreshes.

Later

You said you wanted a "function" - to me that implies something already simply built into JavaScript. I may be wrong, but as far as I know it may not exist.

My post was intended to inform you (I wasn't sure if you knew or not) that it would have to be custom-tailored, and a turnkey function may not be available.

I will say this: your rather lengthy, scathing post probably wasted more of your time than reading my one-sentence comment.

Despite your rude comments, here's hoping you find someone to help you.

Thanks for your help

You've effectivily wasted my time sir. I asked for a function that pauses a javascript if nothing else. Instead of posting some sort of meaningful reply, you posted a message telling me the script can be writen. Instead of saving me the time of searching though javascript sites for this functions, you have totally defeated my purpose. Not only have you defeated my intended goal, you have wasted server resources and the time of numerous other people who have read this post. Thank you.

If any javascripters know the function, I think it is timeout() or something, please let me know. If you don't have anything helpfull to say, do us all a favore and not waste my time.

Yes, a script for this can be written, the trick is finding someone to write it for you, though.
