Problem Converting Client-side to Server-side Code
I'm trying to convert code that was originally client-side into server-side code. It pulls data from several XML feeds, and then uses variables from that data in a news scroller. When client-side with static variables, the data scrolls every 5 seconds. But the server-side example doesn't scroll at all.
Almost everything works fine, except for the setTimeout. When I load the code listed below, I receive this error:
Microsoft JScript runtime error '800a1391'
'window' is undefined
/scroller.asp, line 173
I realize that 'window' is a browser object that cannot be used in server-side code, but I'm not sure how to adjust my code to make it work. If anyone could let me know what I'm doing wrong, that would be great. Thanks.
Code:
<%
var pausecontent=new Array()
var strMessage1 = "This is message 1";
var strMessage2 = "This is message 2";
var strMessage3 = "This is message 3";
pausecontent[0]='<strong>Title 1: ' + strMessage1 + '</strong>'
pausecontent[1]='<strong>Title 2: ' + strMessage2 + '</strong>'
pausecontent[2]='<strong>Title 3: ' + strMessage3 + '</strong>'

You aren't going to be able to eliminate all the client side code as some of it is specific to only the client. From what I see, there isn't much code that you can move to server side because it all appears to deal with manipulating the display of the data. It looks to me like the only thing you could change is code that generates the client side code that populates the array of messages.
