The title says it all really as I just dabble rather than program any more.

Anyway, I am dabbling with a bit of fun code atm and running a for loop within a for loop.

I want to add another loop in there with a timer working as a delay that will change the content of several iframes that have had their names dynamicaly assigned by the for loop.

How do I do it ?

Example code below and thanks for your help guys n gals.

Code:

<script>

for (r = 1; r < Multiplier; r++){


for(i = 1; i < AmountofViews; i++){
var url="http://www.XXXXXXXXXXX>XXX"+"&"+Math.random();
document.write('Viewing Number:'+i+'<iframe name = "framename'+i+'""src ="'+url+'"width="10" height="10"></iframe><br>');

}
// code here to pause browser to allow pages to load
// code here to reload iframes Multipler times
}
</script>

The only thing worse than your coding is your explanations

OK - sounds to me like you're trying to dynamically add iFrames to the page at a random interval... yes?

First off - there is no "sleep" in JS - you cannot create a blocking call. Therefore, the way to do this is actually to set a random amount of time to a setTimeout() function which will call <the next iFrame function> in a random number of ms. Before I go deep, please tell me if I am on the right track and I can tell you how to do it.

Randomly changing ads, or perhaps ... hehehe...

I appreciate there is no pause function in JS, but I also think I can get to where I need to via something like

Code:

setTimeout("document.write('hello world')",1000);

You're not far off mate, but it aint ads it is......... *** OOOPS ME SHUTS UP BUT MIGHT EXPLAIN IF YOU TURN SKYPE ON ***

But I don't know how to change the Iframes named as in the example (and crap) code.

Zactly right, although I personally do not care for document.write.

Heh... thought so  from whence you 'n me came, my imagination has no problems with where you might be. I'd turn on me SKYPE but unfortunately I am on my notebook right now and haven't set it up here - we had an air conditioning unit explode on us day-before-last and the spike (as it grounded itself) actually made it through my batteries and surge protector and took out my main Mac. It's in the shop now seeing if it is only a power supply. S'posen I should get skype going here...

But I don't know how to change the Iframes named as in the example (and crap) code.

Here is an interesting article - it actually talks about remote scripting using iFrames rather than ... um, well where you might be, but at the bottom is a rather fleshed out chunk of code that shows how to create and destroy iFrames dynamically and with strong support in virtually all browsers. Good reading. Here:

Shit I am still a crap coder.

Why on earth don't I do this in Perl as it would take 10 minutes ?

I think the answer is cos I know it can be done in JS, the problem is I simply am crap lol

What's the issue now?
Are you willing to post your code here?
