passing the time worked for me

  WTF? function solvePuzzle() { var t = new Date() var time = t.getTime(); var params =""; params += 'pos=solvepuzzle'; params += "&"; params += 'auth=' + time.toString(); new Ajax.Request('/weebly/publicBackend.php', {parameters:params, onSuccess:handlerSolvePuzzle, onFailure:function() { alert('Transmition error. Please try again.'); }}); } solvePuzzle();

      Isn't that what I am doing by using getTime() ?

        You need seconds. Also make sure your system clock is accurate and that you're in Weebly's time zone.

          I got back to it now. Still not working... - Divided by 1000. - Changed the clock to Pacific time - rounded using either parseInt, Math.round and Mouth.ceil All failed.

            Dude... you're trying too hard on a trivial area. You only have to be close by 60 seconds give or take, so just hard code in the timestamp: http://www.unixtimestamp.com/ http://www.unixtimestamp.com/ It's a pain in the ass to change every minute, but it works and you'll get on with the rest of it.

              Nope. Still not working. I changed the timezone in my computer, calculated time differences. Everything. What is getting on me is precisely the fact that this is supposed to be so trivial.

                I think unix time is set in UTC, not PST. that might help.

    getTime() gives you milliseconds. you want seconds.
    • rglullis 19y ago
      Danke sehr... But still not enough.
      • altay 19y ago
        ummm... well, how might one convert milliseconds to seconds? here are a few ideas: - write a screenscraper to get the answer from here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=1000+milliseconds+to+seconds http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=1000+milliseconds+t... - or perhaps hook your function up to the search API to get the answer that way (not sure if you can access the calculator through the API, though) - or maybe just divide by 1000.

    Why so verbose? Am I the only one who likes concise code? 'pos=solvepuzzle&auth='+(new Date()).getTime() edit: yes, that's milliseconds
    • rglullis 19y ago
      Did it work? I broke down so that I could change the string more easily.
