How to...refresh specific elements (graphs) within a web-template

[former_member511524]

Dear experts,

I am at the moment developing a warehouse monitoring tool which will display "live" warehouse performance information directly in the warehouse to the operators on a big screen.

We are using different graphs (speedometer, etc...) on one web-template and we want to refresh them automatically in regular intervals (every 1 min). But we do not want to refresh the whole website - but only the specific BW elements within the website.

Is there any way we can do this?

Thanks a lot for your support.

Cheers

The only way to do a refresh for only an specific part of a Web Application, is using IFRAMES.

You must create another template that only would have the chart that you want to refresh automaticly.

The function for do the automatic refresh is this.

function refresh() {

location.reload(true)

}

/* Set the number below to the amount of delay, in milliseconds,

you want between page reloads: 1 minute = 60000 milliseconds. */

window.setInterval("refresh()",300000);

// End -->

Hi Joe

You can adjust the XHTML code specific for the web item and you can do specific refresh

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Do you think you could give me a small example as I am not so familiar with HTML programming.

Thanks a lot!
