Refresh Sceen and user selected intervals

[JasonDBurke]

I'm writing an application in which log data is being displayed on the screen using (C#/ASP.NET). I'd like the user to beable to click on various radio buttons representing different time intervals to refresh the screen.

I've tried using the C# timer control but this isn't working so I'm moving over to JavaScript to handle this. Here is some pseudocode on what i'm attempting:

if(radioButton1.clicked)then
{
refreshpage = 5 seconds
}
else if(radioButton2.clicked)then
{
refreshpage = 10 seconds
}
else if(radioButton3.clicked)then
{
refreshpage = 30 seconds
}

Anyone know how to code this is Javascript?

Thanks,
Jason

Use Javascript (a function called as a result of the [tt]onclick[/tt] event of the checkbox) to drop a cookie on the user's machine specifying the delay in seconds.

Read the cookie value on document.onload into a variable X and use setTimeout("location.refresh()", X * 1000); to refresh the page in X,000 thousandths of a second.
