javascript read from xml file when new xml is created

@ajcool123authorAug 08.2008 — #Note: I figured it out.

Here is my html file for future reference... Good Luck!

<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript">

function parseXML()

{

try //Internet Explorer

{

xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");

}

catch(e)

{

try //Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, etc.

{

xmlDoc=document.implementation.createDocument("","",null);

}

catch(e)

{

alert(e.message);

return;

}

}

xmlDoc.async=false;
 
  if(xmlDoc.load("bandwidth.xml"))
  {
   document.getElementById("xml").innerHTML= 'XML Found';
  }
  else
  {
   document.getElementById("xml").innerHTML= 'XML Not Found';
  } 
 
  // update bandwidth
  document.getElementById("upload").innerHTML=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("upload")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
  document.getElementById("download").innerHTML=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("download")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
 
  // wait 10 seconds look for updated xml
  setTimeout('parseXML()',10000);

}

</script>

</head>

<body onload="parseXML()">



 

 

UP: N/A

 

DN: N/A

</body>

</html>

@HoboScriptAug 08.2008 — #You may want to use an interval for this.

<i>
 </i>window.onload = function() { setInterval("parseXML()", 10000); }

@ajcool123authorAug 09.2008 — #Thank you for your reply. How would the setInteval look in the code? Would this eliminate the need for the body onload event? I am not exactly sure where in the javascript I would be calling this.

Thank you for your help!
