Browser updating

I was wondering how I would make Dream Seeker's browser update without the casual "refreshing" effect that browsers perform when their content changes (refresh your browser to see what I mean)? I'm not too fond of languages like Javascript or PHP, but I think that'd be the way to go.

For in-game things like trade window try using byond 4.0 interface

How does that relate to my post? I asked how to update browsers without the "refresh" effect, not which technique you would recommend using for trade windows.

Then try javascript. There are some javascript realtime clocks that don't need updating. Maybe it's possible to use it in your needs

I don't know how to use javascript, and granted, I can't make any use of your post. Show me how to do this, or at least provide me guidelines, please.

I have no intention learning javascript, especially when I can't be sure it'll help me. Could you be more direct in what I need to learn there, if not explain it here, please?

You didn't told for what exact you need javascript... Or you just need to make page refresh without usual refresh?

I don't need to use javascript. I thought that was a good way to go in-order to "make page refresh without usual refresh".

I think it's impossible to refresh execp usual way, unless you use javascript that can update some text in realtime

Actually, IE is the crulprit of this effect here. By default, Windows is configured to use this "tick" sound everytime the page refreshes. It can be turned off locally by the user, but doing it yourself is tricky.

I'm not too fond of languages like Javascript or PHP, but I think that'd be the way to go.

Exactly. Javascript is the way to go here, as it will be processed on the clients' end. In theory, it's possible to do this with Javascript as it has several functions that control such behavior, however, in practise it has been shown that the BYOND browser behaves a little differently and will not allow these functions to roam about freely.

As such until the time comes that BYOND Staff decide to change the behavior of IE themselves, you will be forced to use hub://Shadowdarke.sd_windows -- the only way at the moment to get rid of the noise. This only works for popup windows, and is unreliable because the feature behaves differently on different versions of Windows.
