nothing happens like before

do I need to add something like this?

except for refreshing that page instead of forwarding you to another one...

im no javascript expert... but that looks like it would only show the correct page after 60 seconds... and after which it would not refresh.
setTimeout is usually used to delay execution on a particular part of a script rather than refreshing.

such as:

is a snip from a web page i made that has a 'Please Wait' overlay. That code hides it after 1.5 seconds.

i never said that was supposed to refresh anything... that was an example of what you should use setTimeout for...

Thanks to all that have contributed to this!!!

The vista gadget is almost ready for release

Improvements:
- Got rid of all the gaps (finally )
- Refreshes every 60 seconds

Things left to add:
- Refresh when the gadget first starts up (so it doesn't use the last image from the last start up)

The vista gadget should be released in a few hours, if not... tommorrow

I have started making Gadgets for the Windows Vista Sidebar and the Google Sidebar.

These gadgets will Display the Current Version of Live For Speed and the amount of Racers Currently Online.

google to come?

Quote from master_lfs.5101 :

google to come?

yes, it will take longer than the vista gadget did tho... google is a harder code to use... it doesn't support php files the way microsoft does

I'm not sure how long it will take me because I have school again tommorow, I had 2 weeks of holidays to get the vista one out... but with school it may take a few months

The Google version is coming, it just may take a few months

thanks mate
I won't be sure weather it works until I get the php png image working...

This is what I have tried...

Quote :

<view height="117" width="170" onopen="view_onOpen()">
<img height="117" width="170" src="stock_images\background.png"/>
<img dropTarget="true" enabled="true" height="62" hitTest="htclient"
width="170" src="stock_images\lfs-logo.png"/>
<img dropTarget="true" enabled="true" height="15" hitTest="htclient"
width="170" y="62" src="stock_images\top.png"/>
<img dropTarget="true" enabled="true" height="30" hitTest="htclient"
width="170" y="77" src="http://www.lfs.net/content/inc/realtime_numbers.php"/>
<img dropTarget="true" enabled="true" height="10" hitTest="htclient"

<a height="62" width="170" href="http://www.lfs.net"/>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60"/>
</view>

It doesn't display because it is a php file I'm guessing... is there a way around this?

Bump for my above post
Can anyone help?

Sorry i meant Apple widgets, i asked because it seriously took 7 seconds to create an widget for what the OP wanted. Why the hell doesn't Windows have something similar.

Crap vid, but you get the idea
