Hi,

What you describe doesn't happen in my situation.
(Linux RH8 with Mozilla1.4.1)

I tested the following script:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout("doc ument.location= 'test.php'" , 2000);
</script>
</head>
<body>
I refresh myself every 2 seconds.
</body>
</html>

Re: refresh without Focus

This is not what php can do because php is server side, it is javascript
related.
use this js function after your refresh
self.blur();

I don't have this problem with my refreshing window.
Got URL?

Re: refresh without Focus

The problem is browsers handle the refresh differently. Even Mozilla didn't
focus the window after a refresh, it's not for all browsers, the best it to
add code to handle it.

Hello everyone,
THis is the function I'm using:
function refreshPage(){
document.form_a ffichage.action =myPage.php';
document.form_a ffichage.submit ();
//document.form_a ffichage.blur() ; --> did not work!!
}
timeout = <?php echo $period;?> * 1000;
window.setTimeo ut("refreshPage ();",timeout);
The browser I'm compelled to use is Internet Explorer vers 6.
Unfortunately I have not got a URL yet. Thank you again for any help.
Cheers
Bilal

Is that a typo? Having only one quote would basically putz up the whole
rest of the code.

Now, what happens? Another IE window is open, but this window comes into
focus when it refreshes?
Because I put this into a test page and had no problems. It remained in
the background as expected.

My test page:

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title> New Document </title>
</head>

<body>
<script>
function refreshPage(){
document.form1. submit();
}
timeout = 5 * 1000;
window.setTimeo ut("refreshPage ();",timeout);
</script>

test page
<form name="form1">
<input type="text" name="text1"><b r>
<input type="hidden" name="hidden1" value="nothing" >
</form>
</body>
</html>

Re: refresh without Focus

your syntax is incorrect.
use self.blur(); or windowname.blur ()

No, PHP is not restricted to server-side applications, but it is mostly
used server-side. If there were a user agent that had a built-in PHP
parser or could make use of an external PHP parser, and if there were a
PHP module for client-side scripting, there were no problem using PHP
for this task.

But not because JavaScript would be restricted to client-side
applications but because it is mostly used client-side.

Please do not do that.
