cross-IFRAME javascript call to reset timer |
|
HI there, I developed a similar web app to this, using Flash, a few years ago, and it is still used.
Recently I need a way to "reset" the timer (countdown) so that if a user is interacting with the
page content in the IFRAME, the timer will not reach zero while the user is still actively engaged.
But no modern browser allows this cross-frame (or iframe) communication AFAIK.
Unless I am mistaken, the very same security constraints would
prevent your content pages from using a Javascript call to somehow reset the timer at the top of
the page. (Of course only those content pages authored by the kiosk designer whose HTML
can be edited, not arbitrary pages from the outside WWW).
Do you agree? Do you think it would be possible?
Thanks,
