Cannot create window (insufficient Memory) - Or how to implement a self refreshing clock in a frame which is contained in a frameset?

Hi all,

currently i have a frameset, which is shown to all Lotus users as a welcome page (Notes Client only - no web). In a certain frame i display 2 clocks with different time zones updated about every 5 minutes. The frame contains one form.

Therefore i have to refresh this single frame each time interval. In R5 i solved this with following javascrip-code:

JS Header

var timerID=null;

function autoRefresh() {

window.document.location.href=window.document.location.href+“&foo”;

}

On Load

timerID = setInterval(‘autoRefresh()’, 5601000)

This worked very well in R5.

If i launch this welcome page in R6 everything seems to be ok. But after a while i get the following error:

Cannot create window (insufficient Memory)

It seems that R6 can update this frame about 30 times and then brings up this message!

Now my question:

How can i implement a normal text based clock in a frame (contained in a frameset) which is refreshed automatically? The solution must run within R6!

Any proposals are welcome!

best regards

Markus

I have a frameset that is used as the Welcome page and I have the same problem when using javascript setInterval or setTimeouts to reload the window. I’ve also discovered that just reloading the window doesn’t actually work either…I need to call a url everytime. Must be a caching thing.

Does anyone have a LotusScript solution that will reload a specific window on an interval?

BTW - i’ve tried using notesuiworkspace.reloadwindow()…works great until someone actually needs to work in a database. When the reload fires, it fires on whatever DB is currently open in the UI. That’s pretty neat when you are looking through a database and then it magically flips to the default view. ugg.
