Playing the fetched urls one by one with some time gap

[nazeers]

Hi All,

Earlier I haved posted the issue for fetching the base URLs from the xml file and got some valubale help from this Forum.

With the given inputs ... i was able to code to fetch all the base urls from a XML file, now we like to display the fetched base URLs one by one with some time gap between the corresponding URLs present, in the browser . This is something similar to replay of activities done by a user

P.S : We are working on Mozilla extension , with XUL, Javascript and XML.

Need your help in this regard...

Thnx...

You can use setInterval for this. Will these URLs be 'played' in an iframe?

Hi,

Say suppose, when i click on a button say 'Playback' in the frontend ... it should open up the browser and urls that are been fetched from XML file should (come or )play one by one in the same browser window ... with a time gap ..

Thnx

So you're opening a new browser window for the URLs? Well, in that case, it should be easy enough.

Assuming you've parsed the XML and have the urls, you can use seInterval to call a function which updates the URL of the opened window every x seconds,e.g.:

var urls = // e.g. in an array
var urlindex = 0;
var newwin;
var intrvl;
function updateURL() {
 if (urlindex==0) newwin = window.open(urls[urlindex],...);
 else newwin.location.href=urls[urlindex];
 urlindex++;
 if (urlindex==urls.length) clearInterval(intrvl);
}
intrvl = setInterval("updateURL()",x);
