window.setInter val() not working in Mozilla 1.7.1

Eli
Hello all,
I have just added a small piece of JavaScript code to a basic HTML
page of mine. At the end of the page (after the closing </HTML>) I
added:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">
window.setInter val ("myFunc()", 1000);
</SCRIPT>

The function myFunc is as easy as you might expect, to update a text
field with the current time.
Things go fine under IE6 but not working under Mozilla 1.7.1, both
under Win XP. For Mozilla 1.7.1:
1. navigator.appNa me is showing Netscape
2. navigator.userA gent is showing Mozilla/5.0
My book references say window.setInter val () is avail from Netscape 4.
Any ideas? TIA.

Check Mozilla's JavaScript console, I suspect the myFunc throws an error.
If you can't correct it yourself post the relevant code.

I would bet that you're trying to update the text field using
something like:

myFormName.myFi eldName.value = "whatever";

which is using an unsafe shortcut that IE supports, but many
other browsers do not. Use the full reference:

document.myForm Name.myFieldNam e.value = "whatever";

The following are not responsible for your problem, but may
indicate that you should find a better book:

1. You should not place <script> blocks after the closing </html>
They should be within the <head> or <body> blocks.

2. The <script> tag should be:

<script type="text/javascript">

The "language" attribute is out-dated.

Heaps of thanks Martin.
Mozilla's JavaScript Console is a great help indeed. Totally new for me.
Problem solved.
All the best,
Eli

At line this.timerId = setInterval (function(){this.step()}, 100) I get error dialog Error:Object doesn't support this property or method. If I change it to this.timerId = setInterval (function(){this==window}, 100) I see true, the sad fact that 'this' is window and not an anim. What are some proper ways ? I would like to avoid

I already understand that one cannot disable a browser's forward and back functions. This is a situation where I have code working in Mozilla V1.6 and would like something similar for Opera and IE. I link within a page and display individual divisions of that page, manipulating their visibility and display styles with an onClick function. As long as I explicitly click a link to progress, it works with browsers I've tried.

I'm calling `setInterval(myfunc, 100);`. That function receives one parameter which seems to be -3, 0, 3, 6 or 9. This isn't a problem, but I'm wondering what it is. Does someone know? Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

There has been a bit of work done to get an init() function to run when the DOM is complete but before all the images have been downloaded. The idea is to kickoff init() scripts when all the elements are there but not wait for large images. Below is a script which uses 3 different techniques, one each for IE, Safari and Mozill/Opera 9. The Safari version uses browser sniffing, but I think with a little work that could be removed - the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
