[OT] javascript pause function
Hi folks.
I posted something similar a few months back, with no replies. I'm
working on it again, with a slightly different script, so I thought
I'd try aain.
The story: I have a bit of javascript that includes an RSS feed into a
page. But when the page loads, the rendering hangs up while it waits
for the javascript go out and get the RSS feed, so I want to delay the
execution of that script.
So I found another bit of JS that is supposed to be a delay/pause
thingy. But I can't seem to connect the two together successfully.
The RSS script:
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://feed2js.org//feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sdsuniverse.info%2Fnews_rss.ashx%3Fdid%3D80%26cats%3D36%2C&num=3
" type="text/javascript"></script>
The "pause" script:
> <script language="JavaScript"><!--
> //-- JavaScript code written by Alan Simpson - www.coolnerds.com
> //-- Variable below defines how many seconds to wait.
> var howManySeconds = 10
>
> //--This is the function that pauses, then calls your custom function.
> function pause() {
> myTimer=setTimeout("whatToDo()",howManySeconds*1000)
> }
>
> //-- This is the function that's executed after the delay time is up.
> function whatToDo() {
> alert ("Delay time has ended. Any code could be executed at this
> point")
> }
> //--></script>
> Finally, add onload="pause()" to your page's <body> tag, as below:
>
> <body onload="pause()" >
So I tried this combination, without success:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
//-- JavaScript code written by Alan Simpson - www.coolnerds.com
var howManySeconds = 10
function pause() {
myTimer=setTimeout("whatToDo()",howManySeconds*1000)
}
function whatToDo() {
src="http://feed2js.org//feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sdsuniverse.info%2Fnews_rss.ashx%3Fdid%3D80%26cats%3D36%2C&num=3
"
}
//--></script>
So I assume for the "whatToDO", I need something more or different
than the "src=" from the other script. But what?
The original script is placed inline where I want the feed items to
appear. SO maybe for the whatToDo I also need some kind of
document.write function??
