I have a site that is supposed to be 'real-time' which has a frameset
of 2 rows (the bottom row is 1 pixel so essentially invisible to IE
users which is the requirement for the product). The bottom frame
refreshes using an http-refresh every 15 seconds. If new data is
available on the server, it tells the top page to refresh. For checks
and balances, the top frame has a form at the bottom of the page with a
'clockBox'..whi ch is essentially a text box that gets updated every
second so it looks like a timer. When the bottom frame refreshes, it
waits 5 seconds then resets the top counter to 0. The top counter
continues to count. If the top counter gets to 30 (which it never
should unless the bottom frame gets stuck), it refreshes the bottom
frame.
My problem:
When the top frame is taking too long to load, I get a javascript
error:
Error: 'window.parent. frames.body.cou tnerFomr.clockB ox' is null or not
an object.
Here's my code:
<script language="javas cript">
timer = setTimeout("set Counter()",8000 );
function setCounter(){
if (window.parent. frames["body"].counterForm.cl ockBox){
window.parent.f rames["body"].counterForm.cl ockBox.value = 0;
}
}
</script> 1 5971

I suspect that's because window.parent.f rames["body"].counterForm.cl ockBox
cannot be an object until window.parent.f rames["body"] is loaded.
Instead of waiting a fixed time, it may be better to monitor continuously
until the other frame's document is loaded.
[Not tested]
timer = setInterval("se tCounter()",500 );
function setCounter()
{
if (window.parent. frames["body"] &&
window.parent.f rames["body"].counterForm.cl ockBox)
{
clearInterval(t imer);
window.parent.f rames["body"].counterForm.cl ockBox.value = 0;
}
}

Hi
I am not a javascript expert and I have a problem that the guru's
in this newsgroup probably can solve quickly. ;-)
I've made a webpage with three frames: top, left and mainframe.
I defined this in a frameset called index.htm.
Each frame is loaded with a specific page: top:title.htm, left:menu.htm
and mainframe:start.htm.
So far so good...

Hi!
Does anybody know of a way that I can keep a reference to an object
that I can then reuse? I tried various approaches using navigator, but
these all fail in an iframe due to premission problems.
For e.g.:

I found the GifEncoder class on phpclasses, which creates an animated gif image from frames and echos it to the browser to show; can also save it as an image with .gif extension.
The only problem is that I need to add the animated gif onto another image (with imagecopymerge), however the gif image that is returned by this code in an object.
Here is the code:
