Could you recommend me a way to place a coundown timer on ASP.NET page?
Now I use this code:
Default.aspx
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server">60</asp:Label>
<asp:Timer ID="Timer1" runat="server" Interval="1000"
ontick="Timer1_Tick">
</asp:Timer>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
Default.aspx.cs
protected void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int seconds = int.Parse(Label1.Text);
if (seconds > 0)
Label1.Text = (seconds - 1).ToString();
else
Timer1.Enabled = false;
}
But it is traffic expensive. I would prefer pure client-side method. Is it possible in ASP.NET?
OK, finally I ended with
<span id="timerLabel" runat="server"></span>
<script type="text/javascript">
function countdown()
{
seconds = document.getElementById("timerLabel").innerHTML;
if (seconds > 0)
{
document.getElementById("timerLabel").innerHTML = seconds - 1;
setTimeout("countdown()", 1000);
}
}
setTimeout("countdown()", 1000);
</script>
Really simple. Like old good plain HTML with JavaScript.
time1 = (DateTime)ViewState["time"] - DateTime.Now;
if (time1.TotalSeconds <= 0)
{
Label1.Text = Label2.Text = "TimeOut!";
}
else
{
if (time1.TotalMinutes > 59)
{
Label1.Text = Label2.Text = string.Format("{0}:{1:D2}:{2:D2}",
time1.Hours,
time1.Minutes,
time1.Seconds);
}
else
{
Label1.Text = Label2.Text = string.Format("{0:D2}:{1:D2}",
time1.Minutes,
time1.Seconds);
}
}
You might add something like this in your .aspx page
<form name="counter"><input type="text" size="8"
name="d2"></form>
<script>
<!--
//
var milisec=0
var seconds=30
document.counter.d2.value='30'
function display(){
if (milisec<=0){
milisec=9
seconds-=1
}
if (seconds<=-1){
milisec=0
seconds+=1
}
else
milisec-=1
document.counter.d2.value=seconds+"."+milisec
setTimeout("display()",100)
}
display()
-->
</script>
Found here
<script type="text/javascript">
var sec = 10;
var min = 0
var hour = 0;
var t;
function display() {
sec -= 1
if ((sec == 0) && (min == 0) && (hour == 0)) {
//if a popup window is used:
setTimeout("self.close()", 1000);
return;
}
if (sec < 0) {
sec = 59;
min -= 1;
}
if (min < 0) {
min = 59;
hour -= 1;
}
else
document.getElementById("<%=TextBox1.ClientID%>").value = hour + ":" + min + ":" + sec;
t = setTimeout("display()", 1000);
}
window.onload = display;
</script>
use this javascript code----
var sec=0 ;
var min=0;
var hour=0;
var t;
function display(){
if (sec<=0){
sec+=1;
}
if(sec==60)
{
sec=0;
min+=1;
}
if(min==60){
hour+=1;
min=0;
}
if (min<=-1){
sec=0;
min+=1;
}
else
sec+=1 ;
document.getElementById("<%=TextBox1.ClientID%>").value=hour+":"+min+":"+sec;
t=setTimeout("display()",1000);
}
window.onload=display;
