How to trigger a Python script at a given time interval using JavaScript/JQuery.
The example in this article shows how a Script Button control can be triggered at a regular interval (1 second, in this case) using JavaScript/JQuery.
==============================================
$(function() {
setInterval(
function()
{
$("#load :first-child").click();
}, 1000);
});==============================================
Explanation:
- #load is the div tag which contains the python action control, i.e. the button.
- first-child is the first element in the div tag, in this case the python button.
- setinterval will call the python 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>
