Subject: Enhanced Yahoo Boxscores
Posted by: RecycledSpinalFluid
- Dude [204401122] Fri, Oct 14x, 2005, 18:01
My Enhanced Boxscores were taking up too much bandwidth to successfully have hosted on a free webhost, so I decided to pull it from the web...and make it a stand-alone HTA program that runs on your machine.
The HTA (HTML Application) source is fully visible and customizable. If you download it and come up with a cool hack, you are obligated to share.
Warning, I am far from a professional coder, so if you think my coding sucks...well...join the crowd.
One thing I have seen with this current version is that it seems to only run with higher level permissions (I only run WinXP-Pro at Administrator levels, so I don't know how it reacts to other OSes and such).
Download and use at your own risk...
Enhanced Boxscore Viewer
Couple of quick notes:
- The columns are sartible and reverse sartible, by clicking and reclicking on the headers.
- If you can't figure out what the column headers are, hover over the header with your mouse. A tooltip will appear.
- I was also going to put a RotoGuru icon in there, but couldn't find a URL to a small enough image...and he probably doesn't need the traffic wasted anyway.

I think we have a problem Houston. It says Mikki Moore has 16 points and LBJ has 9. That can't be right. But seriously ...
I still can't figure out the 'refresh' button. This is what I am getting.
When I open the program (using IE), it says there is 11:41 left in the CLE/NJ game. Confirmed at the Yahoo site.
- After about a 2 minutes of gametime (9:18 left), I press 'refresh' and nothing happens (but the button appears like it's being pushed).
- I click back one day, then up to the current day, and the scoreboard has refreshed to 9:18. The stats are correct.
- I click 'refresh' and the scoreboard/stats revert back to 11:41.
- Going back and forward in the date does not solve the problem at this point. I am unable to get a refresh after the initial one, and cannot get past 9:18
F5 also reverts it back to 11:41
Does any of this description make sense?

refresh button is working. and if you hit the back button and get a refresh at some point even when you click on the new score the old stats still appear.
(saying it with a tone to help work out bugs and not an unappreciative way. much love RSF, especially considering you don't play these games)

[33] This is also exactly what I'm getting. I havn't found better than to close and re-open game viewer to refresh.
That's said, fantastic tool RSF

I need to amend the previous post slightly. When I hit 'refresh' the first time, it works perfectly (the scoreboard updates all pretty-like). It's when I hit 'refresh' the second time that the above process starts.
You coming up for an Ms game this year RSF? It's hard to believe it's been over 6 years since we've hoisted a beer together.
And many thanks for such a nifty tool!

OK, so going back/forward works, but the button sucks? Is that an improvement, or was it doing that already?

Re [36]...ah...thats what I was seeing. I'd test and recode. I must have been reloading each time.
Re the Ms game. I was just thinking that same thing. It was 9/11/2000...man thats a long time ago.

Enhanced Yahoo Boxscores rev 14 (Right click and Save As)
A functional refresh button...really.
Figured out a way around it only loading a page one time. Just used Yahoo's URL refresh "refresh=" and increment it +1 each view, tricking it into thinking its a new URL.

RSF, the refresh button refreshes the score but doesn't refresh stats. And then I reclick on the same game and the stats don't change either.
When I close it out and reopen though I see the up to date stats.

He's right. Cancel my contract as a beta tester. The individual player stats do not refresh. Only the scores do.
I can't believe I missed that.

RSF,
Not to complain...
Ahhh why not!! I didn't post on Jedman's I'm bitter thread.
Using the forward arrows isn't bringing up the next day's schedule. It works for the back arrows.

RE [46], yeah, I noticed that the other day. My latest "fixes" fixed to that (ie...it used to work...DOH!)
Anything in this thread isn't taken as complaining. Just attempts to make it more useful.
RE [47], not really that far off. Thinking on adding an "auto-refresh" that you can set the duration between refreshes to. So, if 1 second between refreshes make you happy, then have at it. Can deal with this now that the manual refreshes actually work.

Enhanced Yahoo Boxscores rev 16 (Right click and Save)
Early version of the "auto refresh". Currently hardcoded for 15 second intervals.
It will refresh the available boxscores (left pane) and the current viewed boxscore (right pane).
Beta test and complain here... ;)

RSF, yes I looked at that. I changed a few things but I have no idea if I was changing the right settings. Actually I do have an idea, I wasn't changing the right setting as I could get it to load properly. I guess I can try again, just not sure what I'm looking for.

Here is a screen capture of my settings in post 8.
I'd go through. Change one at a time, test, if no change, set back, change the next one, test. Lather, rinse and repeat.
If its not just one...then I guess do them all.

Probably not. I went through your settings. I must have a different IE version as the settings were similar but not exact to the ones on my Internet Options. I made changes to match your screen capture settings as best I could, I think about 8 changes and it worked. I didn't go through them one at a time, my apologies. May have been helpful to anyone else having a similar problem. I am getting constant messages telling me my computer is now at risk from a security standpoint. (Perhaps I should play around as you suggested one setting at a time to see if this will go away) Oh well, I think I'll just lock the doors and pack it in for the night. Thanks again for your assistance. Looking forward to having this available on an ongoing basis.

Wonderful tool, RSF :)
On german Windows systems, there's a small "bug" because we have "," as decimal separator instead of "."
So the calulated TSNP are too big, eg. 350,00 instead of 35,00.
Adding
SetLocale("en-us")
at the beginning of the script did the job for me.
My VBA skills are very limited, so i don't know if this has any secondary effects on other systems.
But now your tool works on my local machine.

RSF,
Something's happened to the Yahoo Boxscores.
I've been getting the this message the last 2 days.
I'm getting a script error on line 206, character 2. Type mismatch: '[ string: "03/02">Mar 2 | "]'
Can you take a look at it?

It loads on Feb. 21, that has been since a week, then if you want to go to the next date(or specific date, then you get a runtime error), I have to say I was still using an old version(#8), but downloaded the latest one last night and it is the same.
This is the message:
A runtime error has occured
Do you wish to debug?
Line:775
Error: invalid procedure, call or argument: "Mid"

It was weird, was looking at the scores, and all of a sudden only Cha-Nyk was left on the page. Refreshed the page couple of times, but no luck...
And No, I hadn't taken any drugs.
