I don't know how to say it right, sorry in advance.
I want to make a page of the site js that the page can be updated every 10 seconds, does anyone have an example?
**that the user can refresh the page every 10 seconds**
I want my user on my site to be able to refresh the page once every 10 seconds
You can make button that will show after 10 seconds so user can but also don't have to update.
setTimeout(function(){
let button = document.querySelector('button');
button.style.display = "block";
button.onclick = () => window.location.reload();
}, 10000);
window.onkeydown = (e) => {
if(e.key === 'F5'){
e.preventDefault()
}
}
button {
display:none;
}
<button>Click me</button>
EDIT:
It is impossible to prevent the user from reloading the page, however it is possible to ask if they really want to leave, using this code below, if it after 10 seconds it will not ask if they want to leave, however if it has been less than 10 seconds, it will ask if they want to leave.
var r = 0;
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
if(r == 1) {
return "Are you sure you want to leave?";
}
}
setTimeout(function(){
r = 0;
}, 10000);
I want to reload a page in every 5 min if a user is not active on that page.(I don't want reload a page while user is active).
I have a code for reloading a page while clicking on the button.
<button ng-click="refreshDeliveries()">
<span>Refresh Deliveries</span>
</button>
$scope.refreshDeliveries = function () {
$window.location.reload();
};
But I just want if user is not active from past 5 min, page will automatically reloaded in Angularjs.
Thank you
You can use $interval method from angularJS
function reloadPage() {
var d = new Date();
var curTime = d.getTime(); //n in ms
$window.location.reload();
}
to set in 5 minutes
setIntvl = $interval(reloadPage, 300000);
cancel a interval
$interval.cancel(setIntvl);
This code works for me
and for auto idle refresh check
Auto logout with Angularjs based on idle user
This code sample might be helpful for you. It uses Angular 1.3 and https://github.com/HackedByChinese/ng-idle library:
(function() {
angular.module('myApp', ['ngIdle'])
.controller('ctrl', homeController)
.config(function(IdleProvider, KeepaliveProvider) {
// configure Idle settings
IdleProvider.idle(5); // in seconds
IdleProvider.timeout(5); // in seconds
KeepaliveProvider.interval(2); // in seconds
})
.run(function(Idle) {
// start watching when the app runs. also starts the Keepalive service by default.
Idle.watch();
});
function homeController($scope, Idle) {
$scope.message = 'Check browser console to get idle info';
$scope.events = [];
$scope.$on('IdleStart', function() {
console.log('Idle Start');
// the user appears to have gone idle
});
$scope.$on('IdleWarn', function(e, countdown) {
console.log(e, countdown);
// follows after the IdleStart event, but includes a countdown until the user is considered timed out
// the countdown arg is the number of seconds remaining until then.
// you can change the title or display a warning dialog from here.
// you can let them resume their session by calling Idle.watch()
});
$scope.$on('IdleTimeout', function() {
console.log('Idle Timeout');
// the user has timed out (meaning idleDuration + timeout has passed without any activity)
// this is where you'd log them
// ------You can reload the page here------
});
$scope.$on('IdleEnd', function() {
console.log('Idle End');
// the user has come back from AFK and is doing stuff. if you are warning them, you can use this to hide the dialog
});
$scope.$on('Keepalive', function() {
console.log('Keep me Alive');
// do something to keep the user's session alive
});
}
}());
I got this auto form submitter as I search the internet. Though I want it to execute the submission in a certain period of time. Like perhaps after 5 or 10 seconds.
<script type="text/javascript">
function formAutoSubmit () {
var frm = document.getElementById("31926767765874");
frm.submit();
}
setTimeout(function() { formAutoSubmit(); } , 5000);
</script>
Take a look, and read up on, JavasScript Timing Events. You can simply wrap formAutoSubmit() in a timer, like so:
<script type="text/javascript">
function formAutoSubmit() {
var frm = document.getElementById("31926767765874");
frm.submit();
}
var timeout = 2000; //2 seconds or 2000 ms
setTimeout(function()
{
formAutoSubmit();
}, timeout);
</script>
Caveat: this can be a nuisance for the user experience, so tread carefully.
If you want to run after 5 seconds:
setTimeout(function() { formAutoSubmit(); } , 5000);
If you want to run it each 5 seconds:
setInterval(function() { formAutoSubmit(); } , 5000);
Use setTimeout
setTimeout(formAutoSubmit, 10000);
That's 10000 ms (or 10s)
How can I automatically reload a webpage, if there have been no activity on the page for a given period of time?
This can be accomplished without javascript, with this metatag:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5" >
where content ="5" are the seconds that the page will wait until refreshed.
But you said only if there was no activity, what kind for activity would that be?
If you want to refresh the page if there is no activity then you need to figure out how to define activity. Let's say we refresh the page every minute unless someone presses a key or moves the mouse. This uses jQuery for event binding:
<script>
var time = new Date().getTime();
$(document.body).bind("mousemove keypress", function(e) {
time = new Date().getTime();
});
function refresh() {
if(new Date().getTime() - time >= 60000)
window.location.reload(true);
else
setTimeout(refresh, 10000);
}
setTimeout(refresh, 10000);
</script>
I have built a complete javascript solution as well that does not require jquery. Might be able to turn it into a plugin. I use it for fluid auto-refreshing, but it looks like it could help you here.
JSFiddle AutoRefresh
// Refresh Rate is how often you want to refresh the page
// bassed off the user inactivity.
var refresh_rate = 200; //<-- In seconds, change to your needs
var last_user_action = 0;
var has_focus = false;
var lost_focus_count = 0;
// If the user loses focus on the browser to many times
// we want to refresh anyway even if they are typing.
// This is so we don't get the browser locked into
// a state where the refresh never happens.
var focus_margin = 10;
// Reset the Timer on users last action
function reset() {
last_user_action = 0;
console.log("Reset");
}
function windowHasFocus() {
has_focus = true;
}
function windowLostFocus() {
has_focus = false;
lost_focus_count++;
console.log(lost_focus_count + " <~ Lost Focus");
}
// Count Down that executes ever second
setInterval(function () {
last_user_action++;
refreshCheck();
}, 1000);
// The code that checks if the window needs to reload
function refreshCheck() {
var focus = window.onfocus;
if ((last_user_action >= refresh_rate && !has_focus && document.readyState == "complete") || lost_focus_count > focus_margin) {
window.location.reload(); // If this is called no reset is needed
reset(); // We want to reset just to make sure the location reload is not called.
}
}
window.addEventListener("focus", windowHasFocus, false);
window.addEventListener("blur", windowLostFocus, false);
window.addEventListener("click", reset, false);
window.addEventListener("mousemove", reset, false);
window.addEventListener("keypress", reset, false);
window.addEventListener("scroll", reset, false);
document.addEventListener("touchMove", reset, false);
document.addEventListener("touchEnd", reset, false);
<script type="text/javascript">
var timeout = setTimeout("location.reload(true);",600000);
function resetTimeout() {
clearTimeout(timeout);
timeout = setTimeout("location.reload(true);",600000);
}
</script>
Above will refresh the page every 10 minutes unless resetTimeout() is called. For example:
clicky
Based on the accepted answer of arturnt. This is a slightly optimized version, but does essentially the same thing:
var time = new Date().getTime();
$(document.body).bind("mousemove keypress", function () {
time = new Date().getTime();
});
setInterval(function() {
if (new Date().getTime() - time >= 60000) {
window.location.reload(true);
}
}, 1000);
Only difference is that this version uses setInterval instead of setTimeout, which makes the code more compact.
var bd = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
var time = new Date().getTime();
bd.onmousemove = goLoad;
function goLoad() {
if(new Date().getTime() - time >= 1200000) {
time = new Date().getTime();
window.location.reload(true);
}else{
time = new Date().getTime();
}
}
Each time you move the mouse it will check the last time you moved the mouse. If the time interval is greater than 20' it will reload the page, else it will renew the last-time-you-moved-the-mouse.
use JavaScript setInterval method:
setInterval(function(){ location.reload(); }, 3000);
Auto reload with target of your choice. In this case target is _self set to itself,but you could change the reload page by simply changing the window.open('self.location', '_self'); code to something like this examplewindow.top.location="window.open('http://www.YourPageAdress.com', '_self'";.

<body onLoad="set_interval(); document.form1.exp_dat.focus();" onKeyPress="reset_interval();" onmousemove="reset_interval();" onclick="reset_interval();" onscroll="reset_interval();">
I came up with a slightly different solution, because I found that setInterval isn't really accurate, see: setInterval timing slowly drifts away from staying accurate
// Based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/15279599
// Refresh Rate is how often you want to refresh the page
// based off the user inactivity (in seconds).
var refresh_after = 20;

last_user_action = new Date();
}
// Countdown that executes every second.
setInterval(function () {
refreshCheck();

// The code that checks if the window needs to reload
function refreshCheck() {
var expire_time = new Date(last_user_action);
expire_time.setSeconds(expire_time.getSeconds() + refresh_after);
now = new Date();
if (now.getTime() >= expire_time.getTime() && document.readyState == "complete") {
window.location.href = window.location.href; // We do this to discard the POST data.
}
}
window.addEventListener("click", reset, false);

window.addEventListener("keypress", reset, false);
window.addEventListener("scroll", reset, false);
document.addEventListener("touchMove", reset, false);

Yes dear,then you have to use Ajax technology. to changes contents of
particular html tag:
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<title>Ajax Page</title>
<script>
setInterval(function () { autoloadpage(); }, 30000); // it will call the function autoload() after each 30 seconds.
function autoloadpage() {
$.ajax({
url: "URL of the destination page",
type: "POST",
success: function(data) {
$("div#wrapper").html(data); // here the wrapper is main div
}
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
contents will be changed automatically.
</div>
</body>
</html>
I would consider activity to be whether or not the user is focused on the window. For example, when you click from one window to another (e.g. Google Chrome to iTunes, or Tab 1 to Tab 2 within an internet browser), the webpage can send a callback saying "Im out of focus!" or "Im in focus!". One could use jQuery to harness this possible lack of activity to do whatever they wanted. If I were in your position, I would use the following code to check for focus every 5 seconds, etc and reload if no focus.
var window_focus;
$(window).focus(function() {
window_focus = true;
}).blur(function() {
window_focus = false;
});
function checkReload(){
if(!window_focus){
location.reload(); // if not focused, reload
}
}
setInterval(checkReload, 5000); // check if not focused, every 5 seconds
And finally the most simple solution:
With alert confirmation:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Set timeout variables.
var timoutWarning = 3000; // Display warning in 1Mins.
var timoutNow = 4000; // Timeout in 2 mins.
var warningTimer;
var timeoutTimer;
// Start timers.
function StartTimers() {
warningTimer = setTimeout("IdleWarning()", timoutWarning);
timeoutTimer = setTimeout("IdleTimeout()", timoutNow);
}
// Reset timers.
function ResetTimers() {
clearTimeout(warningTimer);
clearTimeout(timeoutTimer);
StartTimers();
$("#timeout").dialog('close');
}
// Show idle timeout warning dialog.
function IdleWarning() {
var answer = confirm("Session About To Timeout\n\n You will be automatically logged out.\n Confirm to remain logged in.")
if (answer){
ResetTimers();
}
else{
IdleTimeout();
}
}
// Logout the user and auto reload or use this window.open('http://www.YourPageAdress.com', '_self'); to auto load a page.
function IdleTimeout() {
window.open(self.location,'_top');
}
</script>
Without alert confirmation:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Set timeout variables.
var timoutWarning = 3000; // Display warning in 1Mins.
var timoutNow = 4000; // Timeout in 2 mins.
var warningTimer;
var timeoutTimer;
// Start timers.
function StartTimers() {
warningTimer = setTimeout(timoutWarning);
timeoutTimer = setTimeout("IdleTimeout()", timoutNow);
}
// Reset timers.
function ResetTimers() {
clearTimeout(warningTimer);
clearTimeout(timeoutTimer);
StartTimers();
$("#timeout").dialog('close');
}
// Logout the user and auto reload or use this window.open('http://www.YourPageAdress.com', '_self'); to auto load a page.
function IdleTimeout() {
window.open(self.location,'_top');
}
</script>
Body code is the SAME for both solutions
<body onload="StartTimers();" onmousemove="ResetTimers();" onKeyPress="ResetTimers();">
With on page confirmation text instead of alert
Since this is another method to auto load if inactive I give it a second answer. This one is more simple and easier to understand.
With reload confirmation on the page
<script language="javaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var autoCloseTimer;
var timeoutObject;
var timePeriod = 5100; // 5,1 seconds
var warnPeriod = 5000; // 5 seconds
// Warning period should always be a bit shorter then time period
function promptForClose() {
autoCloseDiv.style.display = 'block';
autoCloseTimer = setTimeout("definitelyClose()", warnPeriod);
}
function autoClose() {
autoCloseDiv.style.display = 'block'; //shows message on page
autoCloseTimer = setTimeout("definitelyClose()", timePeriod); //starts countdown to closure
}
function cancelClose() {
clearTimeout(autoCloseTimer); //stops auto-close timer
autoCloseDiv.style.display = 'none'; //hides message
}
function resetTimeout() {
clearTimeout(timeoutObject); //stops timer
timeoutObject = setTimeout("promptForClose()", timePeriod); //restarts timer from 0
}
function definitelyClose() {
// If you use want targeted reload: parent.Iframe0.location.href = "https://URLHERE.com/"
// or this: window.open('http://www.YourPageAdress.com', '_self');
// of for the same page reload use: window.top.location=self.location;
// or window.open(self.location;, '_self');
window.top.location=self.location;
}
-->
</script>
Confirmation box when using with on page confirmation
<div class="leftcolNon">
<div id='autoCloseDiv' style="display:none">
<center>
<b>Inactivity warning!</b><br />
This page will Reloads automatically unless you hit 'Cancel.'</p>
<input type='button' value='Load' onclick='definitelyClose();' />
<input type='button' value='Cancel' onclick='cancelClose();' />
</center>
</div>
</div>
Body codes for both are the SAME
<body onmousedown="resetTimeout();" onmouseup="resetTimeout();" onmousemove="resetTimeout();" onkeydown="resetTimeout();" onload="timeoutObject=setTimeout('promptForClose()',timePeriod);">
NOTE: If you do not want to have the on page confirmation, use Without confirmation
<script language="javaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var autoCloseTimer;
var timeoutObject;
var timePeriod = 5000; // 5 seconds
function resetTimeout() {
clearTimeout(timeoutObject); //stops timer
timeoutObject = setTimeout("definitelyClose()", timePeriod); //restarts timer from 0
}
function definitelyClose() {
// If you use want targeted reload: parent.Iframe0.location.href = "https://URLHERE.com/"
// or this: window.open('http://www.YourPageAdress.com', '_self');
// of for the same page reload use: window.top.location=self.location;
// or window.open(self.location;, '_self');
window.top.location=self.location;
}
-->
</script>
Using LocalStorage to keep track of the last time of activity, we can write the reload function as follows
function reloadPage(expiryDurationMins) {
const lastInteraction = window.localStorage.getItem('lastinteraction')
if (!lastInteraction) return // no interaction recorded since page load
const inactiveDurationMins = (Date.now() - Number(lastInteraction)) / 60000
const pageExpired = inactiveDurationMins >= expiryDurationMins
if (pageExpired) window.location.reload()
}
Then we create an arrow function which saves the last time of interaction in milliseconds(String)
const saveLastInteraction = () => window.localStorage.setItem('last', Date.now().toString())
We will need to listen to the beforeunload event in the browser to clear our lastinteraction record so we don't get stuck in an infinite reload loop.
window.addEventListener('beforeunload', () => window.localStorage.removeItem('lastinteraction'))
The user activity events we will need to monitor would be mousemove and keypress. We store the last interaction time when the user moves the mouse or presses a key on the keyboard
window.addEventListener('mousemove', saveLastInteraction)
window.addEventListener('keypress', saveLastInteraction)
To set up our final listener, we will use the load event.
On page load, we use the setInterval function to check if the page has expired after a certain period.
const expiryDurationMins = 1
window.addEventListener('load', setInterval.bind(null, reloadPage.bind(null, expiryDurationMins), 1000))
I am doing it like this:
let lastActionTaken = new Date().getTime();
function checkLastAction() {
let now = new Date().getTime();
if (now - lastActionTaken > 1000 * 60 * 60) window.location.reload();
else lastActionTaken = now;
}
window.addEventListener("mousemove", checkLastAction);
window.addEventListener("touchstart", checkLastAction);
window.addEventListener("keydown", checkLastAction);
This will reload the page as soon as the user moves their mouse, hits a key or touches a touchscreen if it has been inactive for 1 hour. Also, this takes care of the focus as well, so if a user is moving their mouse in a different program and then come back to this window it will reload, which is good because the point is to not have old data being shown.
Many of these other answers either don't answer the main part of the question "with no activity", or they are incredibly, unnecessarily complex. I have taken the accepted answer (here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4644315/9008140 )
and modified it to take advantage of the fact you can assign timers to variables. This allows us to get rid of the second timer, as well as the timestamp.
/**
* create a timer that refreshes the page after the number of
minutes has passed without user interaction.
* Moving the mouse or pressing a key on the current page will start
the timer over.
* #param {any} minutes
*/
var refreshTimer;
function setPageRefreshTimer(minutes) {
var refreshInterval = minutes * 60 * 1000; //interval is in milliseconds. We refresh every x minutes.
$(document.body).bind("mousemove keypress", function (e) {
if (refreshTimer != null && refreshTimer != undefined) {
window.clearTimeout(refreshTimer);
}
refreshTimer = window.setTimeout(function () { window.location.reload(true); }, refreshInterval);
});
refreshTimer = window.setTimeout(function () { window.location.reload(true); }, refreshInterval);
}
This sample code will refresh based on a passed in parameter in minutes, with an accuracy as great as a javascript timer can be. In testing, always less than a second. I created this as a function but you can pull it into your page if you wish.
This task is very easy use following code in html header section
<head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30" /> </head>
It will refresh your page after 30 seconds.
