Hi,

I know there have been posts on this subject before but they're a few months old so I'm wondering if there's a neater way in the more recent CTPs:

How can I start and stop an Atlas timer at the client-side? I know fine how to click a button to cause a postback and have the timer start but I'm looking for a way to do it using js at the client-side (I want to be able to click an ImageButton and have the timer start).

Any ideas?

Hi,

the timer can be started/stopped with a call to the set_enabled(true/false) method. If you are using the atlas:TimerControl, you can have problems to find the timer reference on client-side since the server control is not assigning an ID to the instance.

Luis Abreu has posted a modified version of the TimerControl that assigns an ID to the timer instance. Do a search on the forum and you'll find the corresponding thread.

Another solution is to create the timer on client-side.

This problems was solved and published at codeproject site. Look at this URL http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/stoppabletimer.asp

It's realy working)) Good luck

Excelent work. It works perfect for me!

Thanks all.
