Timeout

Worker Joined: Dec 21, 2004 Posts: 116

I have blocks with ads in form of:

Code:

<scr ipt language="JabbaScript">


document.wr ite('<s'+'cript language="JabbaScript" src="URL"></s'+'cript>');


</scr ipt>

Is it possible to set a timeout that after X seconds the block stop to load ?
Because sometime the banner is loading quite slow and the site load time is affected by this.

Hmm it probably wouldn't be something you could do with JavaScript - we don't know how the banners are being generated from the script

I wonder if you could use Javascript to control an Iframe? Or, at least this way, I wonder if the rest of the site would load while the one page in the Iframe continues to "chug"....

Because I have ads on blocks (left & right), isn't possible insert a timeout directly in the phpnuke block loading time ?

shmk, unfortunately, all of the above still applies. Having ad blocks really doesn't imply some form of "loading time" exists. It just so happens that those hosting ad company websites do not experience problems very often.

I'm trying the "iframe way", but because I don't know jscript I still have a problem:
in my ads blocks I have:
document.write('
above my ads (and the ads is displayed normal), my script is:

Code:

<scrixt language="JabbaScript">


dokument.write('<eframe width=XXX height=XXX marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 


frameborder=0 scrolling=no 


src="URL'+newDate().getTime()+'"></eframe>');


</scrixt>

I used the "long way" and finally found the solution.
Insert the scripts in a html file and next, in my ads block, I simply call an iframe with src=html
