Hello All,

I'm looking for some help with HTML. It's been almost 6 years since I last did anything web-based and I've forgotten pretty much everything to do with it so I would like some advice on what I think should be quite a simple question.

I would like to create a webpage that cycles through several different internal websites sites every 30 seconds. These internal websites are for monitoring network health and as they are for different services, the aim of this page is display these each of these internal sites on a large plasma screen before cycling to the next page.

I thought I could use:

META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" content="30; url=*.html

... and have them run through looping on itself but I believe this would have to be added into the webpages themselves. The problem with this is that these internal sites are generated by the servers so I won't be able to add such a command.

Would anyone have a suggestion or way I could get this to work? Alternatively, I believe that these pages refresh themselves every themselves every 30 seconds anyway so is it possible to cycle browser windows or tabs (in IE7) in way to give a similar end result?

I would REALLY appreciate any advice.

Many thanks in advance,

bdx
 
Sorry, if it helps explain things better, what I am trying to do do is effectively create a URL Redirect Loop like so:

Page 1 -> Page 2 -> Page 3 -> Page 4

You'll Need Javascript in a Frameset or something similar.
Javascript runs on the parent frame, and loads a website on the Child frame, that just happens to span the entire parent frame.

The Javascript could change the location of the child frame every X amount of time and load the specified website.

But I Suggest you take this up in the Javascript Forum here: forum216 , for a more precise explanation.
