window. setInterval() not working in Safari

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 06.2007

I have a simple line of code:

[COLOR=”Blue”]window.setInterval(“refreshProgress()”, 1500);[/COLOR]

which is not working in Safari. It works fine in Firefox though.

(The refreshProgress() method is actually part of some ajax code to call a java Listener listing on a file upload. That part is working fine. I don’t think the problem is there)

Even when I try to do something as simple as:

[COLOR=”blue”]window. setInterval(“alert(‘hello’)”, 1500);[/COLOR]

I still can’t get it to work on Safari.

The same thing is happening if I substitute setTimeout() for setInterval().

Is there something I’m missing????

Any thoughts would be much appreciated

@Declan1991Oct 06.2007 — Try using a reference such as:

Javascript:
[code=php]
window.setInterval(refreshProgress,1500);
[/code]

@milazzo6authorOct 06.2007 — yes, I thought of that, but it makes no difference.

The method

[COLOR="Blue"]setInterval("refreshProgress()", 1500)[/COLOR]

is actually inside a function embedded in a .js file:

[COLOR="blue"]

function startProgress()

{

document.getElementById('progressBar').style.display = 'block';

document.getElementById('progressBarText').innerHTML = 'upload in progress: 0%';

document.getElementById('uploadbutton').disabled = true;

// wait a little while to make sure the upload has started ..

window.setInterval("refreshProgress()", 1500);



return true;
}[/COLOR]

The first three lines of the function work fine - so, I'm assuming it's tripping up on the fourth.

Success!
