How to update a label using Javascript?

[gnewsgroup]

In my asp.net 2.0 web application, I would like to display the process
progress information in the browser. The progress info is displayed
one after another with 1 or 2 seconds delay in between them. I
believe you guys have seen this a lot in a DOS console.

I have been trying this in my code-behind in C# for a few days with no
luck.

I think this must be achievable through javascript. But, I am new to
javascript, could you guys give me a hint on how to do this in
javascript? Thanks.

You're right, I didn't put a stop in. He should only have it run during
the update and then stop. Excellent point, I should have paid better
attention to detail.

And at least tested it before you posted it :)

Is there a performance hit, or just a curiosity.

There is always a "performanc e hit" when you use a property that doesn't
exist.

It makes it clearer what I'm doing in the code, I think. If it's inefficient, let me know
and I'll just comment better.

See my other reply to you about using a queryString.

Ok, so an updated code listing then:
>
<script type="text/javascript">

<snipped a lot of code to do a 3 line project>

Is that a little beter?

Not really :)

It was meant respectfully. I'm going to lay back and watch for a while,
since it seems I'm not paying any attention to detail.

Fair enough and thank you for a compliment.

Don't just "lay back" though. You will learn a lot quicker if you take a
post that interest you, try to come up with a solution, then test it.
Then try to break it, then test it some more, then see how it stands up
and compares to other solutions posted.

And get Firefox :)

Ok, you got me, I shouldn't have replied to this at all. I don't know
what the hell I'm even thinking today, but I sure as hell shouldn't be
writing code I don't know enough about.

And if you don't write it, you won't learn it, and where will that get
you? I have had my head bashed in so many times here over code I posted
I stopped letting it bother me.

Firefox is my primary, I only use IE at all because I have to test in
it. I usually build in FF, get it right, then test in IE and work around
broken stuff, which is getting less each time, with the help of folks
just like you.

Sounds like a plausible way to look at things, thanks for that. I'm
reading that best practices doc over at Javascript Toolbox right now,
actually.

Which browsers implement that?

Please post only code that has been tested, and use copy'n'paste to do
it.

None, actually. It was an egregious and disgusting public display of
incompetence and lack of attention to detail. I've learned my lesson,
and I will not let it happen again.
