Sets or retrieves the update interval for the screen.
Syntax
HTML N/A Scripting screen.updateInterval [ = iInterval ]
Possible Values
iInterval Integer that specifies the update interval, in milliseconds. The property is read/write with a default value of 0.
Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see Dynamic Properties.
Remarks
The updateInterval property can be set to an integer value specifying the number of milliseconds between updates to the screen. A value of 0 disables the update interval.
The interval causes screen updates to be buffered and then drawn in the specified millisecond intervals. This limits excessive invalidations that reduce the overall painting performance, which can happen when too many flipbook-style animations occur at once.
Use this property judiciously; a value too small or too large adversely affects the page rendering response.
Applies To
