I am trying to get what is a fairly simple to create in asp.net and run on a windows azure server to work on a linux server. Everything I have tried chases me down a rabbit whole of MVC, DOTVVM and the like. All I know about javascript is 'Google it, and someone somewhere probably did, so copy and paste.

This is the desired result in action.

The code for the aspx is below

What I have tried:

ASPX
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="Blanchardtech.WebForm1" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
        <title>Weather</title>
    <script>
        window.setInterval('refresh()', 60000);
        function refresh() {
            window.location.reload();
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>
            <asp:Literal ID="OT" runat="server" />
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

You don't need any server-side code for that.

HTML

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Weather</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <img id="outsideTemp">
        <img id="insideTemp">
        <img id="outsideHumidity">
    </div>
    <script>
    const updateData = () => {
        const minutes = new Date().getMinutes();
        const m = minutes < 10 ? `0${minutes}` : minutes.toString();
        document.getElementById("outsideTemp").src = `https://cws.a2hosted.com/weather/OutsideTemp.gif?${m}`;
        document.getElementById("insideTemp").src = `https://cws.a2hosted.com/weather/InsideTemp.gif?${m}`;
        document.getElementById("outsideHumidity").src = `https://cws.a2hosted.com/weather/OutsideHumidity.gif?${m}`;
    };
    
    setInterval(updateData, 60000);
    updateData();
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Awesome, worked like a charm. Thank you so very much. I spent 3 days running down rabbit holes looking for something so simple, I feel silly

Solution 4

Ok, bad news, the reason the server side push is need is that if the computer sleep mode for the screen, firefox, chrome and edge all stop updating, while with the original code, they can go to sleep and the push will keep pushing when the screen is asleep.
