Seam Remoting & Javascript

[pdpantages]

Hello Seamers, I have another question.

I have been having some problems with seam remoting and I wanted to back off and
try a simple test to start.

I have run the example progress bar application on my server and it works as
expected.

I wanted to then see if I could run a simple poller, so I started
out with the progress bar javascript...

I removed the remote call, & var declaration and the src statement for
seam/remoting/interface.js?progressBarAction, resulting in the code
below. I have defined a button to start it off.

I am just trying to see if the getProgress() function will run after
the 1000 timeout & then reschedule itself.

But... I only see first alert "Query Progress" but that is it. The
getProgress() function is never run, not even once. Somehow the timeout is being cancelled? I get no msgs in the javascript console.

Thank you, in advance, for any ideas... PdP
