New to framework builder

I just purchased framework builder and need help on a project (not sure if framework builder will do what i want?)

I have a javascript countdown timer clock on page 'clock.php'
I have a submit button on page 'bidding.php'

I want to plugin the clock.php function on the bidding.php page and have the submit button refresh the clock.php page so that anyone logged in to bidding.php will see a new timer clock when anyone clicks the submit button.

thanks for your help,
Jim Balthrop

It sounds like it would work. The submit button would only have to refresh the page.

Thanks Ray.

I know the reload/refresh code should be on the 'clock.php' page.

here is the current load trigger on the 'clock.php' page

pre = (window.onload) ? window.onload : function () {};
window.onload = function () {
pre();
TDisplay.init(61, document.getElementById('countdown'), document.getElementById('notifier'));
}

I am not sure how to write reload code on the 'clock.php' page that would have the trigger be clicking the submit button on the 'bidding.php' page
Can you help?

thanks,
Jim Balthrop

When you use framework builder they will technically be on the same page... you should be able to call any function directly as if it was on the same page.

thanks Ray,

here is the page which is strictly a test page
clock_button.php

It has a static webassist framework with the trigger 'always'
The source page is
clock_auction1.php

the source page has a javascript countdown to a certain datetime
the clock_button page submit button updates the certain datetime plus 60 seconds
the source page has a meta tag auto refresh so that when the recordset with the certain datetime is changed, it starts the countdown.

Is there a way to get the button page to not autorefresh?

Using AJAX instead of a page submit you could prevent the page refresh.

Ray,

I have tried to use AJAX and can't seem to get the javascript so show on the page.

Is there a way to get the page that has the javascript function to refresh when clicking the submit button on the page that holds the web assist framework?

Nothing specific to the framework functionality. The WA Framework is server side code which requires a page load to run. AJAX or client side javascript of some sort is the only alternative and won't be effected by the framework builder.
