Querytask refresh

[AndyBurns]

Hi

I have reconfigured the LASTUPDATE query task to query some other data and display it in the DIV.

I would like to know if it is possible to call this task with a timer? I have tried to do it in JS but failed. I havce changed the source data as we are configuring it for UK data and everything works as we require but would like to offer a Latest Results DIV with the last 5 results from Server doing a query which we have working and returning json as we require but putting it on a timer seems an issue.

thanks

            var queryTask = new esri.tasks.QueryTask(layer.ServiceUrl);             var query = new esri.tasks.Query();             query.where = "EDIT_DATE < sysdate";             query.returnGeometry = false;             query.outFields = ["EDIT_DATE", "DIVISION", "PARTY_NEW"];             queryTask.execute(query, showResults);                                function showResults(featureSet) {     var s = "<b>Latest Results</b><br><br />";     var date = new js.date();                 for (var i=0, il=featureSet.features.length; i<il; i++) {       var utcMilliseconds = Number(featureSet.features.attributes[updates.FieldName]);       featureSet.features.attributes[updates.FieldName] = dojo.date.locale.format(date.utcToLocal(date.utcTimestampFromMs(utcMilliseconds)), { datePattern: updates.FormatDateAs, timePattern: updates.FormatTimeAs });       var featureAttributes = featureSet.features.attributes;       //var featureAlias = featureSet.fields[0].alias     for (att in featureAttributes) {       s = s + "" + "Division:</b>  " + featureAttributes[att] + "<br><br />";      }     }     dojo.byId("tdLastUpdate").innerHTML = s;         //featureSet.fields[0].alias     //featureSet.fields[0].alias + ": " + featureSet.features[0].attributes[updates.FieldName]/* + " " + featureSet.features[0].attributes["DIVISION"] + " " + featureSet.features[0].attributes["PARTY_NEW"]*/;                 dojo.byId("divResultsUpdateInfo").style.display = "block";    }

We also seen that somewhere at 9.3.1 server could accept ORDER BY but looks like this is not available in 10 and then appears again at 10.1 by OrderByField?

Justincase anyone is interested:

var tid = setInterval(queryLatest, 30000);    function queryLatest() {     var queryTask = new esri.tasks.QueryTask(layer.ServiceUrl);     var query = new esri.tasks.Query();     query.where = "EDIT_DATE < sysdate";     query.returnGeometry = false;     query.outFields = ["EDIT_DATE", "DIVISION", "PARTY_NEW"];     queryTask.execute(query, showResults);                        }        function showResults(featureSet) {     var s = "<b>Latest Results</b><br><br />";     var date = new js.date();                 for (var i=0, il=featureSet.features.length; i<il; i++) {       var utcMilliseconds = Number(featureSet.features.attributes[updates.FieldName]);       featureSet.features.attributes[updates.FieldName] = dojo.date.locale.format(date.utcToLocal(date.utcTimestampFromMs(utcMilliseconds)), { datePattern: updates.FormatDateAs, timePattern: updates.FormatTimeAs });       var featureAttributes = featureSet.features.attributes;       //var featureAlias = featureSet.fields[0].alias       //for (att in featureAttributes) {          //s = s + "" + "Division:</b>  " + featureAttributes[att] + "<br><br />";}     s = s + "<div style= 'margin-bottom: 1em'>"      //s = s + "" + featureSet.fieldAliases.DIVISION + ": " + featureSet.features.attributes.DIVISION + ", "+ featureSet.features.attributes.PARTY_NEW +"<br><br />";     s = s + "" + featureSet.fieldAliases.DIVISION + ": " + featureSet.features.attributes.DIVISION + "<br><br />";     s = s + "" + featureSet.fieldAliases.PARTY_NEW + ": "  + featureSet.features.attributes.PARTY_NEW + "<br><br />";     s = s + "</div>"     //s = s + "" + "Party:</b>  " + featureSet.features.attributes.PARTY_NEW + "<br><br />";     //}    }
