Hello! My name is João Lopes and I am part of the team of the Ministry of the Defense of Brazil in the organization of the Military World championship.

I was working with the times exported in html, for the public's visualization,
and it was not updating the page in the frame, stopping when arriving in the end of the report.

This problem was probably owed to the cookie.

Then I made a simpler script and that makes the same thing, and it would like that was tested by you:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var scrollspeed=1
var currentpos=0,alt=1,curpos1=0,curpos2=-1

function initialize(){
startit()
}
function scrollwindow(){
if (document.all)
temp=document.body.scrollTop
else
temp=window.pageYOffset
if (alt==0)
alt=1
else
alt=0
if (alt==0)
curpos1=temp
else
curpos2=temp
if (curpos1!=curpos2){
if (document.all)
currentpos=document.body.scrollTop+ scrollspeed
else
currentpos=window.pageYOffset+ scrollspeed
window.scroll(0,currentpos)
}
else{
javascript:history.go(0)
currentpos=0
window.scroll(0,currentpos)
}
}
function startit(){
setInterval("scrollwindow()",60)
}
window.onload=initialize
</script>

In tests done here he worked well, not being necessary the use of the cookies (that is the most interesting).

Congratulations for the excellent system that is Helga. I wait to be helping.

This implementation in (and for) Helga was made in 2002 by a third man (= nor Michael, nor me) and, I remember that this guy decided to manage the updating of the scrolls with the help a cookie. I only know that it was correlated with the timer but no more idea

I will verify what happen with your proposed script and keep you informed.

... thanks for your comments about HELGA - we are now very involved in this Brazilian Challenge. -

Joao,

your script, successfully tested will be implemented with the next release 2006/10 and therefore available for your events.
