#134532 - 12/01/2003 14:02 automatic board refresh...
revlmwest addict Registered: 05/06/2002 Posts: 497 Loc: Hartsville, South Carolina for...	A friend of mine asked me to check a game score on ESPN.com yesterday, when I noticed a link that set the page to auto refresh every 30, 60, or 90 seconds. Since I basically leave the board on my desktop all day, this would be a cool feature for the board. Would someone please comment on the complexity of doing this? It would only need to be on the front page in my opinion. _________________________ Michael West

The BBS has to embed the META refresh tag to make this happen... There is kind of a hack you could do using HTML frames, though. If you have an HTML file on your PC that looks something like this, you should be able to browse that HTML file in your browser, which would then pull up the Empeg BBS as a frame. Not sure how elegant this solution is, but it should work... <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Empeg BBS</TITLE> <META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="300"> </HEAD> <FRAMESET> <FRAME src="http://empeg.comms.net/php/ubbthreads.php?Cat=&PHPSESSID="> </FRAME> </FRAMESET> </HTML> _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff

I was actually thinking about going to a two monitor setup with several pages remaining open on the second monitor. I also find it very humorous that a post that would require very little programming and time with immediate results produced one questioning response and a post discussing attaching a remote controlled airplane fused to a spy camera to a jeep so that traffic could be surveyed recieved serious dialogue. Man, I love this place.... _________________________ Michael West

pgrzelak carpal tunnel Registered: 15/08/2000 Posts: 4859 Loc: New Jersey, USA	Greetings! Green is 1,000+ posts, I think. There is something abou that here, somewhere... Meanwhile, the meta refresh is really the best option. The question would be where to implement. Could it be placed in the board itself? Would it be better with a framed wrapper? _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs
