help with SSI, or directions to proper group

[TK]

I'm sure this is probably the wrong place to ask, but is there a way to
execute an SSI script in javascript?

I'm using an SSI script to read a memory address, and I'd like to be
able to update the value every few seconds without having to refresh the
entire page. Does anyone know a possible way to do this, or am I stuck
with refreshing the entire page every 4 seconds?

If I'm in the wrong group, does anyone know the proper place to ask?

What is a SSI script reading a memory address ?
You can do that with SSI ?
and I'd like to be
able to update the value every few seconds without having to refresh the
entire page. Does anyone know a possible way to do this,
You can try with frames.
One of the frames fixed to 1px (non really visible) get the refreshed page
The other is modified from the 1st.

In browser the code of your *.shtml opened in 1st frame
would look like :

<script type="text/javascript">
parent.frames[1].document.getElementById('update').innerHTML='valu e of memory';
setTimeout('self.location=self.location',4000);
</script>

Take care on 1st load :
it is the page in 2nd frame after its complete loading
which have to launch the *.shtml in 1st frame

You may also use an iFrame to get the *.shtml
iFrame inserted in your main page
the iFrame sized to 1 x 1 px and styled on invisible.

<scr ..>
parent.document.getElementById('update').innerHTML ='value of memory';
setTimeout('self.src=self.src',4000);
</script>

(not tested)
or am I stuck
with refreshing the entire page every 4 seconds?
On my idea, a page flashing every few seconds, if it doesn't afraid me
(what's happen with my UC?), I run away.
If I'm in the wrong group, does anyone know the proper place to ask?

is there a place somewhere for SSI ?

Why you need a memory address read to begin with? any server
transaction requires a server request and response, so yes, if the
resource is AT the server, the page will refresh, it be PHP, Perl, ASP,
CFML or SSI, once sent from the server, js can manipulate it.

Probably has something to do with wanting the data that is stored in
that address.

Oh really? You should read up on the HTTPRequest object and while you
are researching that one, research dynamically loading JS files. Because
it is *not* required to refresh a page to get a response from the server.

That is not entirely true either. JS can only manipulate it if it is in
a form that JS can manipulate.

Read the group FAQ. ALL of it. You just might learn something.
