Are you needing to do this with a particular site, or all sites? Is this for administrative purposes or just to check for changes on the site?

If you could tell us specifically what you are doing we might be able to suggest a way to accomplish it.

To the best of my knowledge, unless it is "programmed" into the site itself you must refresh manually.

I wanna do it in one particular site and wanna do it to check the changes on that site (checking some rising or decreasing rates, or the latest news on a cable news site)
THANKS IN ADVANCE…

This is kind of cheating, but it works.

Copy the following bold text and past in into Notepad. Then save the file as an *.html file. I will post an explanation after. The blue parts are what you will change to fit your needs.


&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="<font color=blue>&lt;refresh time&gt;</font color=blue>; URL=<font color=blue>&lt;path&gt;</font color=blue>\<font color=blue>&lt;filename&gt;</font color=blue>.html"&gt;
&lt;title&gt;News Monitor&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;frameset rows="0%,100%"&gt;
&lt;frame name="refresh" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no"&gt;
&lt;frame src="http://www.<font color=blue>&lt;website here&gt;</font color=blue>.com" name="site"&gt;
&lt;/frameset&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;



What you are doing is creating a page that you store locally. The code on the page refreshes the local page that you created. One of the two frames on your local page is 100% of the page and contains the website of your choosing. The other frame is 0% of the page and contains the code responsible for the refresh.

Replace <font color=blue>&lt;refresh time&gt;</font color=blue> above with the time, in seconds, between each refresh.

Replace <font color=blue>&lt;path&gt;</font color=blue>\<font color=blue>&lt;filename&gt;</font color=blue>.html above with the path and filename of the html file you are creating for this purpose. For example, if you put this page, named "news" in your favorites folder and wanted it to update every 5 minutes then that line of code would look like this:

&lt;meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="300; URL=c:\windows\favorites\news.html"&gt;

Replace the http://www.<font color=blue>&lt;website here&gt;</font color=blue>.com with the URL of the website you want to refresh. To update MSN every 5 minutes the line of code would look like:

&lt;frame src="http://www.msn.com" name="site"&gt;

Not exactly what you were looking for, but pretty darn close I think.

Glad to help.

I like this kind of problem. A challenge to figure out, but totally doable./images/forums/icons/smile.gif
