The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
You need to create an anonymous function so the actual function isn't executed right away.
ReplyDeletesetInterval( function() { funca(10,3); }, 500 );
You can use an anonymous function;
ReplyDeletesetInterval(function() { funca(10,3); },500);
Quoting the arguments should be enough:
ReplyDeleteOK --> reloadIntervalID = window.setInterval( "reloadSeries('"+param2Pass+"')" , 5000)
KO --> reloadIntervalID = window.setInterval( "reloadSeries( "+param2Pass+" )" , 5000)
Note the single quote ' for each argument.
Tested with IE8, Chrome and FireFox
You can pass the parameter(s) as property of the function object, not as a parameter:
ReplyDeletevar f = this.someFunction; //use 'this' if called from class
f.parameter1 = obj;
f.parameter2 = this;
f.parameter3 = whatever;
setInterval(f, 1000);
Then in your function someFunction, you will have access to the parameters. This is particularly useful inside classes where the scope goes to the global space automatically and you lose references to the class that called setInterval. With this approach "parameter2" in "someFunction", in the example above, will have the right scope.
This is not exactly the same parameters as I read here:

I'm a bit confused ...
This works setInterval("foo(bar)",int,lang); Jon Kleiser lead me to the answer.
ReplyDeleteAdd them as parameters to setInterval:
ReplyDeletesetInterval(funca,500,10,3);
