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

Compaibility issue: window.location mismatch with browser locationbar

by: spam_me_ not | last post by:

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.

window.onload when DOM complete

by: RobG | last post by:

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...
