hi all,
first i guess it best i explain what i am trying to do and then what i have done so u can hopefully point out my mistakes..
atm i have a webserver setup at home ( local only) and an internal ftp program running on the webserver… i have an ip camera ( mobotix) ftping images every 1 second to the webserver and puting the jpg image in a folder called testpic…
what i am trying to do is get a script working so that it auto refreshes the image every second ….
so what i have done.. well i have this script:
[CODE]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″ />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script language=”JavaScript”><!–
function refre****() {
if (!document.images) return;
document.images[‘myCam’].src = ‘testpic/image1.jpg’ + Math.random();
setTimeout(‘refre****()’,1000); // refresh every 1 secs
}
//–></script>
</head>
<body onLoad=” setTimeout(‘refre****()’,1000)”>
<div align=”center”>
<table width=”640″ border=”0″ cellpadding=”0″ cellspacing=”0″>
<!–DWLayoutTable–>
<tr>
<td width=”640″ height=”480″ valign=”top”><img src=”testpic/image1.jpg” name=”myCam” width=”640″ height=”480″ /> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
the code seems to be ** out the refresh it part of the code, so where it says refr**** it is refresh it with out a space…
this basic site puts a copy of the image1.jpg in the middle of the screen and then refresh it every second. but for some reason it displays the first one then when it refreshes the image there is no picture just the box with a cross.. now i know that the image has updated in the testpic file cus i can F5 the page to display the new image that the script should have loaded.
can anyone be a massive help and point out where i could be going wrong?
thanks for any help at all
