Question

Rupp,

Should I consider replacing the geturl statement with hs.URLAction in the script?

[Rupp]

I would if the script were not working for me. Luckly I have never had a problem using geturl.

[anogee]

I also use geturl extensively and have never had a problem.

[Rupp]

You could try changing:
hs.GetUrl(site,page,false,80)
to
siteURL = site & page
hs.URLAction(siteURL,"GET","","")

and I believe it should work.

Fixed Alert

The following line was inserted replacing the GETURL:

body = hs.URLAction(site & page,"GET","","")


and the debug logs now shows a text HTML box.

Thank you for your help Rupp!

Just noticed the following though:

3/26/2005 4:52:35 AM~!~Error~!~Script error in file: custom_cnn.txt: 35764:Still executing last request in line 93

Is this coming up because the script is running second time and not completed running first time. (timed it at every 5 minutes)?

Any suggestions? Should it be changed to a VBS script instead?

Request

I have a question on the script, Custom_Cnn.txt for breaking news. Is there a way to 'Strip' the "Details soon" from appearing in the device string? It seems that every alert is ended with the words "Details soon"

I love this script and put the virtual device in the header of my Touchpad. I just think it would look better if I could strip the 'Details soon' from the alert.


Thanks in advance
Paul
