Question

I have an input field with an id that is used as a button. I want to call this “input button” every X second. How to call the onclick function and/or use its functionality to do this?

<input id="window.all.desktop.id_10.body.TCon1.btn_refresh" class="TDynBtn" type="button"
onclick="window.all.desktop.id_10.body.TCon1.btn_refresh.doClick(this,event)" 
onmouseout="window.all.desktop.id_10.body.TCon1.btn_refresh.onMouseOut(this)" 
onmouseover="window.all.desktop.id_10.body.TCon1.btn_refresh.onMouseOver(this)" 
value="Reload measurements">

My attempt to call it in PHP:

print "
   window.setInterval (
      function() {
         window.all.desktop.id_10.body.TCon1.btn_refresh.doClick(this,event);
      },
      ".$nSeconds."
     );
";

No jQuery possible.

Answer 1

Try this:

var t = setTimeout("clickInputButton()",3000);

function clickInputButton () {
  document.getElementById('window.all.desktop.id_10.body.TCon1.btn_refresh').click()
}

This will call the button every 3 seconds.
