Input text does not refresh

839 Expert 512MB

I'm working on IExplorer:
The input text (having id = "it") does not refresh at all, neither at large intervals (in the for loop).
But the window.status is refreshed and shows correctly the counter.

[HTML]
<html>
<head>
<title>Refresh test</title>

<script language="JavaScript">

function test1(){
var str = "";
var it = document.getElementById("it");
var max = it.value;
document.body.style.cursor = 'wait';

for(var i=max;i>0;i--){
str += "To apply the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration to both administrators and all other users, click Next" ;
if (i % 500 == 0){//refresh on every 500 iterations
it.value = i;
window.status = i;
}

}
d1 = new Date();
it.value = 0;
document.body.style.cursor = "default";
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value="Start loop" onclick="test1()">
<input type="text" id="it" value="5000">

</table>

</body>
</html>

[/HTML]

Is there any trick to overcome this problem?

This works in firefox, so a simple guess would be that "it" must be a reserved word, so use another id and it should work (no guarantees).

If call an alert(i) after it.value = i, the input is refreshed, so the problem seems to be more complicated.
Any suggestion is welcome.

Ok, I've tested in IE6 and I see your problem. It seems that the button freezes whilst the code runs. In that time, the text input is probably frozen even though the value is being updated.

Anyway, why not just use setInterval instead of this code or are you using this to test speed or something?

Yes, I just want to make a speed test in order to compare string concatenation against StringBuilder.
I know that window.status can also be used but I'm still curious how could solve the refresh issue..., maybe sometime it could be useful.
