can javascript get tenths of a second

G

Guy

I would like to calculate the time it takes to load a picture in tenths of a
seconds. So I get the current time, load the image, and once loaded I get
the current time again.

I would like to know if it took 9.3 seconds or 9.7 seconds or whatever.

Can javascript get tenths of a second.

Thanks for all,
Guy

Look in the manual for Date:

http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.5/reference/date.html#1193137

You can get milliseconds.

Not really. Well, it will be an integer number of thousandths, but it
is not likely to have a resolution of one of those.

AIUI, in DOS..Win98, resolution is about 55 ms; in WinNT+ it is 10 ms.

However, it may depend on browser, on OS, and even on CPU. RSVP. To
test your system, execute the following with the Eval button in
<URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-quick.htm> or otherwise.

var J, T, XT=0, XXT

J = 0 ; XXT = T = new Date().getTime()

while (J <= 10) {
if (T != XT) { XT = T ; J++ }
T = new Date().getTime() }

"On your system, it measures at about " +
(new Date() - XXT)/10 + " ms less possible overheads."


Mr bagbourne should read the FAQ; to learn about trimming quotes, and to
learn some facts about javascript.

Yes, really. The difference will be in thousands of a second.
It will not be accurate to 1 thousandth of a second, but that
is the unit that is reported.

How do you suppose these rank in terms of harming the usefulness
of the Internet:
1) Using a false email address
2) Spam
3) Constantly nagging people who use false addresses

I would put using a false address last, personally.
The "functionality" that is lost is not an important feature.
I first stopped using an email address that I actually read
when I started getting too much personal email from people in
newsgroups, not because of spam.

Guy

Ok, from your postings, I assume your not a spam artist looking to add my
email to a spam list! :)

But from what I understand, newsgroups are desinged for people to share on
the newsgroup and not by email. I wouldn't expect someone to mail me an
answer, nor would I email someone an answer. For one thing, it's possible
that my answer may be wrong and by posting it, people can correct me.

And I'm definitely not going to hand over my email address to spammers. The
Internet is being slowed down enough by junk mail, including messages asking
you to email as many friends as you know to get money from microsoft and
AOL, and then I get about 20 emails from people I thought were smart! So
actually, I think that by not including my email address I am doing the
opposite of destroying the Internet.

But since you asked, does anyone know of a safe way to give out your email
address in a posting without any spammers picking it up?

Trying to do the right thing,

Guy

Undoubtedly. I get many spam mails -- but the most of it is filtered

rest (about 10 per day) is filtered client-side by Mozilla's Junk Mail Controls.

Definitely, see above.
I really don't know what the best approach is

Maybe using filters? Maybe complaining to the ISPs by mail so that *they*
stop spammers, by removing their accounts and by closing open relays?
although it probably isn't mine!

Well, consider yourself killfiled then. Null problemo.

Ignore Thomas Lahn; he's a twerp, who thinks he understands what is

If you're filtering out all spam, then you're almost certainly
also filtering out some legitmate email. That's a price that
I'm not eager to pay.

So I should spend additional time sending email to ISP's, in
hopes that I can motivate them to stop taking somebody's money,
because they have offended me?

Ok. You can do some math to convert the milliseconds to tenths of a
second. You could use Math.floor and divide by 100. That would give
you tenths of a second.
