SUMMARY

Sometimes you may want to stop all timing on a page or even to restart the timing later. Vizact does not provide built-in functionality to do this. This article describes how you can add a pause and resume button to the page that stops and then restarts all timing on the page.

Adding Pause and Resume Buttons to the Page

  1. In Vizact, save the page to which you want to add a pause and resume button, and then quit Vizact.
  2. Use another HTML editing program, such as Microsoft FrontPage or Notepad, to open the page for editing.
  3. Locate the <BODY> tag in the document.
  4. Add the following parameter to the <BODY> tag:
    id=docbody
    After adding the id=docbody parameter, the <BODY> tag looks similar to the following (note that there may be other parameters other than the ID parameter): 
    <BODY id=docbody>
  5. Locate the </BODY> tag and put the mouse pointer just before the less than sign (<).
  6. Type or paste the following HTML code into the page: 
    <!-- this button pauses the document, disables itself, 
and enables the resume button -->
<BUTTON ID="pauseBtn" onclick="docbody.pause();
   pauseBtn.disabled = true; resumeBtn.disabled =
   false;"> Pause
</BUTTON>

<!-- this button resumes the document, disables itself,
and enables the pause button -->
<BUTTON ID="resumeBtn"
   DISABLED="true" onclick="docbody.resume();
   pauseBtn.disabled = false; resumeBtn.disabled =
   true;"> Resume
</BUTTON>
    The first button is labeled "pause" and when it is clicked, all timing on the page stops. The second button is labeled "resume" and when it is clicked, all timing on the page starts.
  7. Save the page and close the application that you are using to edit the page.
