These are guess but I'd look into break and exit or maybe document.close().

Well not matter where I try to put the break statement or the other ones it ether does not start at all or has no effect,

Can any one see where the problem is here or somthing else to try. I just am trying to get the little clock from ticking and blank the 2 feilds,

heres the newer code,

=====================
<HTML>
<TITLE>Ticket Timer V 0.1</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"></SCRIPT>

<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD></td>
<TD>Ticket Number</td>
<TD><center>Submit Time</center></td>
<TD>Minutes Seconds</td>
</tr>
<TR>
<TD>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" SIZE=10 NAME="button0" VALUE="START" onClick= startClock() > </td>
<TD><center>
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="txttick1" READONLY SIZE=6 VALUE=""&GT;></center> </td>
<TD><center>
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="txttime1" READONLY SIZE=17 VALUE=""&GT;></center> </td>

<td>
<FORM NAME="frm">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="txtcount2" READONLY SIZE=2 VALUE=""&GT;>
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="txtcount1" READONLY SIZE=2 VALUE=""&GT;>
</FORM>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" SIZE=10 NAME="button1" VALUE="CLEAR"></td>
</table>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" >

Here's a suggestion.
It's not an alert but a pop-up instead.

Put this on your "main" page, it the body tag...

<BODY onLoad="setTimeout(window.close, xxxx)">
xxxx being the time set (ie: 60000 = 60secs or minute)

Then write the pop-up page with this coding within... (ie: popup.html)
<html>
<head>
<title>...</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function popupPage() {
var page = "popup.html"; <--- Change this to your popup page
windowprops = "height=500,width=500,location=no," <-- change these variables to your liking
+ "scrollbars=no,menubars=no,toolbars=no,resizable=no";

window.open(page, "Popup", windowprops); <-- name your file here
}
</script>
</head>
<BODY onLoad="setTimeout('popupPage()', xxxx);"> <--- set your time...
content of message/alert...
</body>
</html>

I haven't actually read the whole code yet (I'm lazy), but it seems that in one function, you have it calling itself every 1000 miliseconds. 1000 miliseconds is a 1 second, so the function will just keep looping every second.

The reason that I have the 1 second thing in the function I need to time somthing for 30 minutes to remind ppl to make a fallow up call on th issue.

Thanks Tyger_claw I will give that a try, But will that stop the loop?

It won't give you the alert option that you are looking for, it's more of a replacement to it.

I'm trying to see the problem with your code, but figured I'd give you this as a sub for the time being...

Thanks Dude,

just run it I have it set to go off at 1 minute,

I've got it half way...

instead of...
if(x==60)
z=z+1
x=0

put y=0

the pop-ups stop, but the minute counter starts to go....

Also, your stopClock() function is ignored...
Took it out and nothing went wrong...

Its kinda ok if the timer keeps going thats not a real issue but I am also trying to make that reset buttong work,
June 27th, 2002, 08:11 PM
tyger_claw

Here ya go, the timer stops and everything...

function startClock(){

x = x+y

document.frm.txtcount1.value = x
document.frm.txtcount2.value = z
setTimeout("startClock()", 1000)
if(x==5){
z=z+1
y=0
x=0
}
if(z==1){
alert(txttick1);
document.frm.focus
z=0
}

I took a look at your functions, and I think (now that I redid them in JS), this is what you were looking for. If not, let me know.

Code:

<HTML> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"></SCRIPT> <FORM NAME="frm"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD></td> <TD>Ticket Number</td> <TD><center>Submit Time</center></td> <TD>Minutes Seconds</td> </tr> <TR> <TD> <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" SIZE=10 NAME="btn0" onclick="bt0();" VALUE="START"> </td> <TD><center> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="txttick1" READONLY SIZE=6 VALUE=""></center> </td> <TD><center> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="txttime1" READONLY SIZE=17 VALUE=""></center> </td> <td> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="txtcount2" READONLY SIZE=2 VALUE=""> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="txtcount1" READONLY SIZE=2 VALUE=""> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" SIZE=10 NAME="btn1" onclick="bt1();" VALUE="CLEAR"> </td> </tr> </table> </FORM>

Re: Stop Function in JAVA SCRIPT HELP!

Hello! You might want to try using a loop to incriment opposed to having
z = z+1 you can easily incriment by using z = z++ which will incriment z until
a function calls z to be within certain boundaries. I removed the y *******
because you do not really need the y ******* in this edited portion of your
code. If that doesnt work, let me know, but it should only have your timer
be activated once and makes sure it is only activated once. I believe the
problem you were having could have simply been solved in your closing
function by chaning an ******* to be out of the boundaries to be effected
by your code. IF this doesnt work, like I said, let me know. Have not coded
java in about 3 months so I am wee bit rusty. ;) Been working on PHP shtuff.
