I have a XHTML page that I am using for a digital signage display. I have flash content with a stock and weather feed on the page. I am bringing the stock and weather feed in using an iFrame so I can have those sections refresh every half an hour. I want to be able to disable the stock from refreshing after a certain at night and then start back up again in the morning at a certain time. Does anyone have any ideas for this? I would like the stock to stop at 5PM and start around 7AM.

Have you looked into
setInterval and clearInterval
yet?

No I am relatively new to javascript and have not heard of setInterval or clearInterval.

Also found this for you to look into, at codebellyDOTcom:
" Closing windows that are comprised of a frameset requires
that you ask to close the "topmost" window, *not* the
page that contains the JavaScript closing code. Thus,
where window.close() will work fine with a regular page,
it will often fail (depending on the browser) when
attempting to close a window comprised of frameset pages.
In this case, the JavaScript closer must ask for
top.window.close() instead.

I will look into that. I am trying to keep the scrolling stock ticker going. I want to keep the page up and running but I just want to find some way to keep the javascript code that deals with refresh to stop at those time periods. Do you think that the interval will work?
