This is the form and link i have in html. <%= link_to_function "sample", "update_timer()" %> <form name="f"> <input type="text" name="time_left" class="time_left"> </form>
onload of the page, i was showing the timer the update_timer() function.
<script> var page_loaded_ms = new Date().getTime(); var timeout_ms = 20*1000;
function update_timer() { var time_left = Math.round((timeout_ms - new Date().getTime() + page_loaded_ms) / 1000); var minutes = Math.floor(time_left/60); var seconds = time_left - (minutes*60); $('time_left').value = 'Time left: '+ minutes + ' min ' + zeroPad(seconds, 2) + ' sec';
if (minutes >= 0 && seconds > 0) setTimeout("update_timer()", 100); else { clearTimeout(); alert("timeOut"); exit(); } }
function zeroPad(number, width) { var s = number.toString(); while (s.length < width) s = "0" + s; return s; }
</script>
while the page gets loaded the script was called , but the value was not written to the text field. But when clicking i was able to see the time in the text_field. Could anyone suggest me a solution for this.
