    Greetings everyone! Can you help me with SetInterval()?

    I want to make a function to run each 60 seconds.

    I have this:

    setInterval(MainWindow::newIdentity,60*1000);

    The function is MainWindow::newIdentity and the time is 60 seconds.
    He says it doesnt know the function setInterval. What should I do or include to the file for he to know it?


    Thanks!

    If you need a reference for SetInterval, you can start with MSDN.

    The function is MainWindow::newIdentity
    That doesn't look like a function!

    Maybe something like this? MainWindow::newIdentity(). That assumes newIdentity doesn't require any paramaters inside those parentheses... I don't know...

    And, the function-name needs to be a string inside quotes.

    Try this:
    SetInterval("MainWindow::newIdentity()", 60000);

    What kind of code/language is this?
    I don't recall "X::Y" existing in Javascript, or does it?
    And there's certainly no function named setInterval in C++ either, unless I missed that one.

    I think you'll just have to terminate the the process.

    And what is the procedure to close them? I just lost my 10 open tabs (though they are still in the history)

    It keeps re-opening one alert after another until you stop the timer.
    (abh!shek - best use a tab manager such as Tab Mix Plus or get FF3.)

    Why FF3? I have the latest stable version 2.0.0.14 Anything special in FF3?

    you can change setInterval() with setTimer.
    Obviously it isn't working. If you need just one timer, just use setTimeout instead.

    FF3 has a crash recovery. If the browser crashes, it restores that tabs from your last session, among other things.
    The latest is FF3 RC1. It's pretty stable (still running FF3B5, though; waiting for extensions to be compatible).
