Sadly PWS doesn't work with WinME.
Oh, did I already post a message about that?
OK. Time for a tip, then. (hello rudi ;-))
<tip type="selective refresh">
We use a webcam that creates a .jpg on the server, but we don't want the
page to reload entirely, do we?
I tried using ilayers and iframes, but since the image is inside a table
with gifs, everything went crazy in Netscape (amazing, huh?).
So. A little javascript does the trick. Adding a false param to an image
makes the browser request the image from the server. So I added a temp
date's values.
The trick is not mine, but i can't remember who to credit it to. Maybe the
adv-HTML list contributors.
<tipsnip>
var timer;
function refreshImg() {
clearTimeout(timer);
var tmp = new Date();
var chaine = "the_webcam_image.jpg?" + tmp.getHours() +
tmp.getMinutes() + tmp.getSeconds() + tmp.getMilliseconds();
document.images["imgRefresh"].src = chaine;
timer = setTimeout("refreshImg()",7000);
}
