Issue/Introduction
How to trigger an IronPython script at a given time interval using JavaScript/JQuery in Spotfire
Resolution
The following sample JavaScript code can be used in the Text Area that contains the action control that executes your IronPython script.
==============================================
$(function() {
setInterval(
function()
{
$("#load :first-child").click();
}, 1000);
});
==============================================
Explanation:
This is the underlying example HTML for the above script:
<div id="load">
<p><SpotfireControl id="077816855b3548a78222b1f55cb30864" /></p>
</div>
<p> </p>
<p>Current Date/Time - <SpotfireControl id="ad33a7130c0a49649ef88761892da6b1" /></p>
Explanation:
- #load is the div tag which contains the IronPython action control, i.e. the button.
- first-child is the first element in the div tag, in this case the IronPython button.
- setinterval will call the IronPython code every 1000 milliseconds as defined by the "1000" integer. You can set the timer (ms) based on how frequently you want to invoke the script.
This is the underlying example HTML for the above script:
<div id="load">
<p><SpotfireControl id="077816855b3548a78222b1f55cb30864" /></p>
</div>
<p> </p>
<p>Current Date/Time - <SpotfireControl id="ad33a7130c0a49649ef88761892da6b1" /></p>
