Javascript counters

This mod wasn't made by me, I'm posting it for Danny969.

This mod was a request, here: http://makewebgames.io/board800/33892-javascript-counters/

And here is the code:

Upload ajax_caller.php to your public_html:

Honestly if you don't already use jQuery in your site, you'd be best just doing the Ajax request with raw JS nonetheless good job Danny :)

[VitalEnd]

Ah awesome, requested this yester, thank you :)

What would i put in the count section on the mainmenu then ? instead of Events ({$ec})

Danny has asked me to post this:

Events (<span id='events'>0</span>)

Mailbox (<span id='mail'>0</span>)

Hospital (<span id='hospital'>0</span>)

Jail (<span id='jail'>0</span>)

Very well done Danny :-)

Very well done, indeed =)

I used this on my site and all works great, but I went one step further and tried using it for the status bars (Energy, Brave, Will, etc.) and I can't seem to figure out how to update the variable for the bars width, I can only get it to update the echoed text. If it says "Energy: 12/12 (100%)", I can get those numbers to change just fine, but I obviously can't put

as the width attribute for the image...

Sorry for the rambling, I'm trying to type while keeping my two year old from putting in his two cents and slamming on the keyboard lol.

Umm, you'll have to change the image source. i may try this, but thay'll be tommorow.

Thanks for the nice peace of code :)

I actually have a variable for the image source since users can customize the bars, so mine is somewhat of a different scenario. I'll play around with it a bit and see if I can come up with a solution that may work for everyone. I can almost guarantee you it won't be the prettiest looking code if I do get around to it though.

Ok, the main problem I'm having so far is a compatibility issue with FF. FireFox tends to show a fade out and fade in transition upon reloading the data, while Internet Explorer does not. This isn't such an issue if you set the interval to 60000 or so, but that seems too slow to me for my intentions. The odd thing is, it only does that SOMETIMES.

[align=center]Energy: 75% (9/12)

[/align]

If I set the entire above example as the portion to be updated, the entire thing flickers/fades/whatever you want to call it every 5 seconds (or whatever your interval is set to). But if I only set the numbers (9/12, or the percent value), then it doesn't show any fade during transition.

This code works fine:
