I want my visitors to be able to toggle an auto page refresh with a checkbox (no iframes).
This is the most similar code i found on Google, but it was created in 2004 and i cant seem to get it to work.
I am using this code on wordpress. So the issue may lie in ""timerRefresh.htm?Checked"" below, i dont know what to rename it to, as my WP page doesnt end with .html/.php/etc... it just ends with a "/"
p.s i know there are browser extensions for auto-reload, i am not looking for that.
Thank you!
var asdf = false;
function StartTime(){
if(asdf)clearTimeout(asdf)
asdf = setTimeout("RefreshPage()",5000);
}
function RefreshPage(){
clearTimeout(asdf)
if(document.Test.CB1.checked)
document.location.href= "timerRefresh.htm?Checked"
}
function LoadPage(){
var findCheck = document.location.href.split("?Chec");
if(findCheck.length == 2){
document.Test.CB1.checked=true;
StartTime()
}
}
<body onload="LoadPage()">
<form name="Test">
<input type="checkbox" name="CB1" onclick="StartTime()">
</form>
</body>
