| Re: Desktop Web Page Refresh Hello, Meta Refresh as the other poster mentions should be simple for you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh JavaScript's method may be complicated for you but would only modify the part of the page you want to update, that is, if the page can be updated without calling the hosting server. If the server needs to be asked for updated information, you can use AJAX techniques to get the latest data from the server. __ http://www.bootstrike.com/ComputerService/ Singapore Computer Home Remote On-Site Repair Service http://www.bootstrike.com/VHSVideoConvert/ Video Conversion VHS Video8 Hi8 Digital8 MiniDv NTSC PAL "JCG" <JCG@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A9388133-6872-4275-B5CB-021BF7253B39@microsoft.com... > Thanks Sing... > > As a novice, I don't know the code for doing this.

In fact, the interval could be as short a 1 (second) as long as it's not a busy non-static page which it pretty surely is considering the question. OP: That's only one of many meta-tags available to you if you care to do a little research at wc3 schools.com an excellent learning/reference site. Or is it w3c? lol, if one doesn't work, try the other! Twayne |
